Let's divide 40248842 by 157
The aim is to understand the frequency of 157 in 40248842.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 157 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 157

Step 2:
When dividing 40 by 157, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 157

Step 3:
The number 157 fits into 402 2 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 314 from 402 to get 88.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 88, then repeat: 884 / 157

Moving on to step 4:
884 divided by 157 is 5 with a remainder of 99.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 785 from 884 to get 99.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 99 and repeat the process: 998 / 157

On to step 5:
When dividing 998 by 157, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 942 from 998.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 568 / 157

Step 6:
157 goes into 568 3 times with a remainder of 97.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2563.0
If we subtract 471 from 568, we get 97.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 97 and continue: 974 / 157

Advancing to step 7:
157 can be fit into 974 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25636.0
Subtracting 942 from 974 leaves us with 32.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 322 / 157

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 322 by 157, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256362.0
If we subtract 314 from 322, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
157 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 256362.0
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
800 divided by 157 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256362.05
If we subtract 785 from 800, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 157 fits into 150 0 times, leaving a remainder of 150.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256362.05
Subtracting 0 from 150 leaves us with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
157 can be fit into 1500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256362.0509
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 1413 from 1500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 870 by 157, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256362.05095
If we subtract 785 from 870, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Step 14:
157 can be fit into 850 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 256362.050955
Deduct 785 from 850 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 256362.050955, with a leftover of 6.5e-06.
