We divide 740808 by 85
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 740808.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
74 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 740 / 85

On to step 3:
85 goes into 740 8 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 680 from 740 leaves us with 60.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 608 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
The number 85 fits into 608 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87.0
Deduct 595 from 608 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 130 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 130 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 871.0
If we subtract 85 from 130, we get 45.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 458 / 85

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 458 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8715.0
If we take 425 away from 458, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 75.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8715.3
Deduct 255 from 330 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8715.38
Subtract 680 from 750 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 700 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8715.388
Subtracting 680 from 700 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8715.388, with a leftover of 0.002.
