We're dividing 996046 by 77 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 77 in 996046.

Let's proceed to step 1:
77 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 77

Let's proceed to step 2:
77 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 77 from 99 to get 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 77

Step 3:
77 goes into 226 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 154 from 226 and we're left with 72.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 720 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 720 by 77, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 693 from 720.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 274 by 77, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1293.0
If we take 231 away from 274, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 436 / 77

Step 6:
When dividing 436 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 51.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12935.0
If we subtract 385 from 436, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 7:
77 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12935.6
Subtracting 462 from 510 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 77 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12935.66
Subtracting 462 from 480 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.

The quotient of the division is 12935.66, and the remainder is 0.018.
