Let's divide 588478 by 83
The aim is to understand the frequency of 83 in 588478.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 83

Advancing to step 2:
The number 83 fits into 58 0 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 58 to get 58.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 588 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 588 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 581 from 588.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 83

Going ahead to step 4:
83 goes into 74 0 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 747 / 83

Advancing to step 5:
83 goes into 747 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 709.0
Subtract 747 from 747 to get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 83

On to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7090.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to 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.

Step 7:
83 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7090.0
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 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 8:
The number 83 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7090.09
If we take 747 away from 800, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 530 by 83, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7090.096
If we take 498 away from 530, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 83, we get 3 and a remainder of 71.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7090.0963
If we take 249 away from 320, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 710 by 83, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7090.09638
Subtracting 664 from 710 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
83 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7090.096385
If we subtract 415 from 460, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 450 by 83, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7090.0963855
Subtracting 415 from 450 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7090.0963855, and the remainder is 3.5e-07.
