Let's divide 988439 by 41
The aim is to understand the frequency of 41 in 988439.

Going ahead to step 1:
41 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 41

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 41, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 82 from 98 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 41

Moving on to step 3:
168 divided by 41 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 164 from 168 to get 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 41 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtract 41 from 44 to get 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 41

Let's proceed to step 5:
33 divided by 41 is 0 with a remainder of 33.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2410.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 339 / 41

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 339 by 41, we get 8 and a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24108.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 328 from 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 41 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24108.2
If we take 82 away from 110, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 41 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24108.26
If we take 246 away from 280, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
41 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24108.268
Subtract 328 from 340 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
41 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24108.2682
Deduct 82 from 120 and we're left 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 11:
The number 41 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24108.26829
Deduct 369 from 380 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 12:
41 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24108.268292
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 82 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 280 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24108.2682926
Subtract 246 from 280 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 24108.26829268
If we take 328 away from 340, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 24108.26829268 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
