Let's divide 996942 by 83
The aim is to understand the frequency of 83 in 996942.

Going ahead to step 1:
83 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
99 divided by 83 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 83 from 99 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
83 goes into 166 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 166 away from 166, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 83

Advancing to step 4:
83 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 94 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1201.0
Subtract 83 from 94 to get 11.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 112 / 83

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 112 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12011.0
Subtracting 83 from 112 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
83 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12011.3
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 249 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
83 can be fit into 410 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12011.34
If we subtract 332 from 410, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 83 fits into 780 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12011.349
Deduct 747 from 780 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 83 fits into 330 3 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12011.3493
If we take 249 away from 330, we end up with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 83 fits into 810 9 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12011.34939
If we take 747 away from 810, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 630 by 83, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12011.349397
Subtract 581 from 630 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 83 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12011.3493975
Deduct 415 from 490 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 750 by 83, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12011.34939759
If we take 747 away from 750, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12011.34939759 and a remainder of 3e-09.
