Let's divide 842977 by 47
The aim is to understand the frequency of 47 in 842977.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 47

On to step 2:
47 goes into 84 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 84 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 372 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
372 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 329 from 372, we get 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
439 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we take 423 away from 439, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 47

On to step 5:
If we divide 167 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1793.0
If we take 141 away from 167, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 267 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 267 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 32.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17935.0
If we subtract 235 from 267, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
47 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17935.6
Subtracting 282 from 320 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
47 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17935.68
Subtracting 376 from 380 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17935.68
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17935.6808
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 376 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
240 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17935.68085
Subtract 235 from 240 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
50 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17935.680851
Subtract 47 from 50 to 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 30 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17935.680851
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 14:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17935.68085106
Deduct 282 from 300 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17935.68085106 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
