We're dividing 44859984 by 997 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 997 in 44859984.

Step 1:
The number 997 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 997

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 997 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 448 / 997

Step 3:
When dividing 448 by 997, we get 0 with a remainder of 448.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 448 leaves us with 448.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 448 and repeat the process: 4485 / 997

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 997 fits into 4485 4 times, leaving a remainder of 497.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3988 away from 4485, we end up with 497.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 497 and continue: 4979 / 997

Going ahead to step 5:
997 goes into 4979 4 times with a remainder of 991.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 3988 from 4979 leaves us with 991.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 991, then repeat: 9919 / 997

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 9919 by 997, we get 9 with a remainder of 946.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 449.0
If we take 8973 away from 9919, we end up with 946.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 946 and repeat the process: 9468 / 997

Going ahead to step 7:
997 goes into 9468 9 times with a remainder of 495.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4499.0
If we take 8973 away from 9468, we end up with 495.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 495, then carry on: 4954 / 997

On to step 8:
997 goes into 4954 4 times with a remainder of 966.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44994.0
If we subtract 3988 from 4954, we get 966.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
9660 divided by 997 is 9 with a remainder of 687.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44994.9
Deduct 8973 from 9660 and we're left with 687.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6870, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 6870 by 997, we get 6 and a remainder of 888.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44994.96
If we take 5982 away from 6870, we end up with 888.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
997 can be fit into 8880 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 904.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44994.968
The remainder is 904 after subtracting 7976 from 8880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 9040 by 997, we get 9 and a remainder of 67.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44994.9689
Subtract 8973 from 9040 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 997 fits into 670 0 times, leaving a remainder of 670.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44994.9689
Subtracting 0 from 670 leaves us with 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 6700 by 997, we get 6 with a remainder of 718.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44994.968906
Subtract 5982 from 6700 to get 718.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
997 goes into 7180 7 times with a remainder of 201.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44994.9689067
The remainder is 201 after subtracting 6979 from 7180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2010, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
997 goes into 2010 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44994.96890672
Deduct 1994 from 2010 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 44994.96890672 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
