We divide 978480 by 23
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 978480.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
23 goes into 97 4 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 92 from 97, we get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 58 by 23, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 46 away from 58, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 can be fit into 124 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 425.0
If we take 115 away from 124, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 98 by 23, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4254.0
If we subtract 92 from 98, we get 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42542.0
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 7:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42542.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 23, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42542.6
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
23 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42542.608
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 23 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42542.6086
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
220 divided by 23 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42542.60869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 130 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 42542.608695
If we subtract 115 from 130, 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 13:
When dividing 150 by 23, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42542.6086956
Deduct 138 from 150 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42542.60869565
If we take 115 away from 120, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 42542.60869565 with a balance of 5e-09.
