Let's divide 42327317 by 257
The aim is to understand the frequency of 257 in 42327317.

Let's proceed to step 1:
257 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 257

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 423 / 257

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 423 by 257, we get 1 and a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 257 from 423 leaves us with 166.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 166 and continue: 1662 / 257

On to step 4:
257 can be fit into 1662 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 1542 from 1662 to get 120.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 120 and continue: 1207 / 257

Advancing to step 5:
The number 257 fits into 1207 4 times, leaving a remainder of 179.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
The remainder is 179 after subtracting 1028 from 1207.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 179 and repeat the process: 1793 / 257

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 257 fits into 1793 6 times, leaving a remainder of 251.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1646.0
The remainder is 251 after subtracting 1542 from 1793.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 251 and continue with: 2511 / 257

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 2511 by 257, we get 9 and a remainder of 198.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16469.0
If we subtract 2313 from 2511, we get 198.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 198, then repeat: 1987 / 257

Step 8:
1987 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 188.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164697.0
If we subtract 1799 from 1987, we get 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
257 can be fit into 1880 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164697.7
Subtract 1799 from 1880 to get 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 810 by 257, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164697.73
Deduct 771 from 810 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
257 goes into 390 1 times with a remainder of 133.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164697.731
The remainder is 133 after subtracting 257 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1330 divided by 257 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164697.7315
Subtract 1285 from 1330 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
450 divided by 257 is 1 with a remainder of 193.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164697.73151
The remainder is 193 after subtracting 257 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1930, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 1930 by 257, we get 7 and a remainder of 131.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164697.731517
Deduct 1799 from 1930 and we're left with 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 257 fits into 1310 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164697.7315175
Subtract 1285 from 1310 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
257 can be fit into 250 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164697.7315175
If we take 0 away from 250, we end up with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 164697.7315175, with a leftover of 2.5e-07.
