We're dividing 35977851 by 978 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 978 in 35977851.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 978 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 978

Advancing to step 2:
978 can be fit into 35 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 35, we get 35.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 359 / 978

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 978 fits into 359 0 times, leaving a remainder of 359.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 359, we end up with 359.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 359, then repeat: 3597 / 978

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 3597 by 978, we get 3 and a remainder of 663.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 663 after subtracting 2934 from 3597.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 663 and continue: 6637 / 978

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 6637 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 769.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 5868 away from 6637, we end up with 769.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 769, then carry on: 7698 / 978

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 7698 by 978, we get 7 with a remainder of 852.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 367.0
If we take 6846 away from 7698, we end up with 852.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 852, then carry on: 8525 / 978

Let's proceed to step 7:
978 can be fit into 8525 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 701.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3678.0
Subtract 7824 from 8525 to get 701.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 701 and continue: 7011 / 978

On to step 8:
If we divide 7011 by 978, we get 7 and a remainder of 165.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36787.0
The remainder is 165 after subtracting 6846 from 7011.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 978 fits into 1650 1 times, leaving a remainder of 672.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36787.1
Subtract 978 from 1650 to get 672.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 6720 by 978, we get 6 with a remainder of 852.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36787.16
The remainder is 852 after subtracting 5868 from 6720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8520, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 8520 by 978, we get 8 with a remainder of 696.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36787.168
If we take 7824 away from 8520, we end up with 696.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 6960 by 978, we get 7 with a remainder of 114.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36787.1687
If we subtract 6846 from 6960, we get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
1140 divided by 978 is 1 with a remainder of 162.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36787.16871
Subtract 978 from 1140 to get 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
1620 divided by 978 is 1 with a remainder of 642.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36787.168711
Deduct 978 from 1620 and we're left with 642.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 36787.168711, and the remainder is 6.42e-05.
