We're dividing 298867 by 40 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 298867.

Advancing to step 1:
40 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 40

Step 2:
If we divide 29 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
40 goes into 298 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 280 from 298, we get 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 40

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 188 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 160 away from 188, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 286 / 40

Step 5:
If we divide 286 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 747.0
Subtracting 280 from 286 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 40

Step 6:
If we divide 67 by 40, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7471.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 40 from 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 goes into 270 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7471.6
If we take 240 away from 270, we end up 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:
40 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7471.67
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7471.675
If we subtract 200 from 200, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7471.675
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 11:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7471.675
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7471.675 with a balance of 0.0.
