We're dividing 285784 by 40 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 285784.

Let's proceed to step 1:
40 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 40

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 40, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 40

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 285 by 40, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 280 from 285.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 40

Advancing to step 4:
40 can be fit into 57 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtract 40 from 57 to get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
40 can be fit into 178 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 714.0
If we take 160 away from 178, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 40

Step 6:
184 divided by 40 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7144.0
If we subtract 160 from 184, we 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.

Step 7:
40 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7144.6
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7144.6
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7144.6
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7144.6, and the remainder is 0.0.
