Let's divide 288748 by 85
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 288748.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 85

Moving on to step 2:
28 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 85

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 288 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 255 from 288, we get 33.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 337 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 337 by 85, we get 3 and a remainder of 82.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 255 away from 337, we end up with 82.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 824 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
824 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 339.0
Subtracting 765 from 824 leaves us with 59.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 598 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 598 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3397.0
If we subtract 595 from 598, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3397.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
85 can be fit into 300 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3397.03
Deduct 255 from 300 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3397.035
Deduct 425 from 450 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3397.0352
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3397.03529
If we take 765 away from 800, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3397.035294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3397.0352941
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 85 fits into 150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3397.03529411
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 85 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3397.03529411, with a leftover of 6.5e-08.
