971298 ÷ 23 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 971298.

Step 1:
The number 23 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 can be fit into 97 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 92 from 97 to get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 51 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 46 from 51.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
23 goes into 52 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtract 46 from 52 to get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 23

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 69 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4223.0
Deduct 69 from 69 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42230.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 23 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42230.3
If we subtract 69 from 80, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42230.34
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42230.347
Subtract 161 from 180 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
190 divided by 23 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42230.3478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
23 can be fit into 60 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42230.34782
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42230.347826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
20 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42230.347826
Subtract 0 from 20 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42230.34782608
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 42230.34782608 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
