We look at the division of 48686574 by 996 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 996 in 48686574.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 996, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 996

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 996 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 486 / 996

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 486 by 996, we get 0 and a remainder of 486.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 486 leaves us with 486.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 486, then repeat: 4868 / 996

Let's proceed to step 4:
4868 divided by 996 is 4 with a remainder of 884.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3984 from 4868 and we're left with 884.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 884 and continue with: 8846 / 996

Step 5:
996 can be fit into 8846 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 878.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 7968 from 8846 to get 878.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 878 and continue: 8785 / 996

Advancing to step 6:
The number 996 fits into 8785 8 times, leaving a remainder of 817.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 488.0
Subtracting 7968 from 8785 leaves us with 817.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 817, then carry on: 8177 / 996

Advancing to step 7:
8177 divided by 996 is 8 with a remainder of 209.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4888.0
The remainder is 209 after subtracting 7968 from 8177.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 209, then carry on: 2094 / 996

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 996 fits into 2094 2 times, leaving a remainder of 102.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48882.0
Subtract 1992 from 2094 to get 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
996 goes into 1020 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 48882.1
Subtract 996 from 1020 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
240 divided by 996 is 0 with a remainder of 240.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 48882.1
Deduct 0 from 240 and we're left with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
2400 divided by 996 is 2 with a remainder of 408.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48882.102
If we take 1992 away from 2400, we end up with 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 4080 by 996, we get 4 and a remainder of 96.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48882.1024
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 3984 from 4080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 960 by 996, we get 0 with a remainder of 960.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 48882.1024
If we subtract 0 from 960, we get 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
996 can be fit into 9600 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 636.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48882.102409
The remainder is 636 after subtracting 8964 from 9600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
996 goes into 6360 6 times with a remainder of 384.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48882.1024096
The remainder is 384 after subtracting 5976 from 6360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
996 goes into 3840 3 times with a remainder of 852.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48882.10240963
Subtract 2988 from 3840 to get 852.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8520, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 48882.10240963, and the remainder is 8.52e-07.
