316872 divided by 23 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 316872.

Step 1:
The number 23 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 23

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 23 from 31 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 23

On to step 3:
If we divide 86 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 69 from 86 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 23

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 178 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we subtract 161 from 178, we get 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 23

On to step 5:
177 divided by 23 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1377.0
Deduct 161 from 177 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 can be fit into 162 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13777.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 161 from 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
23 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13777.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 23 fits into 100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13777.04
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
23 can be fit into 80 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13777.043
Subtracting 69 from 80 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13777.0434
Subtracting 92 from 110 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 23, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13777.04347
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 161 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 190 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13777.043478
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13777.0434782
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13777.04347826
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13777.04347826, and the remainder is 2e-09.
