We're dividing 40212983 by 289 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 289 in 40212983.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 289, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 289

On to step 2:
289 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 402 / 289

Step 3:
When dividing 402 by 289, we get 1 with a remainder of 113.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 289 from 402 to get 113.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 113 and repeat the process: 1131 / 289

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1131 by 289, we get 3 and a remainder of 264.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 867 away from 1131, we end up with 264.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 264 and repeat the process: 2642 / 289

On to step 5:
289 can be fit into 2642 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139.0
Subtracting 2601 from 2642 leaves us with 41.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 419 / 289

Let's proceed to step 6:
289 can be fit into 419 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1391.0
If we take 289 away from 419, we end up with 130.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 130, then repeat: 1308 / 289

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1308 by 289, we get 4 with a remainder of 152.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13914.0
Subtract 1156 from 1308 to get 152.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 152 and repeat the process: 1523 / 289

On to step 8:
The number 289 fits into 1523 5 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139145.0
Subtract 1445 from 1523 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 289 fits into 780 2 times, leaving a remainder of 202.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139145.2
If we take 578 away from 780, we end up with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
289 goes into 2020 6 times with a remainder of 286.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139145.26
Deduct 1734 from 2020 and we're left with 286.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 289 fits into 2860 9 times, leaving a remainder of 259.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139145.269
If we subtract 2601 from 2860, we get 259.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
289 can be fit into 2590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 278.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139145.2698
Subtracting 2312 from 2590 leaves us with 278.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
289 can be fit into 2780 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 179.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139145.26989
If we subtract 2601 from 2780, we get 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 1790 by 289, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 139145.269896
Deduct 1734 from 1790 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
560 divided by 289 is 1 with a remainder of 271.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 139145.2698961
If we subtract 289 from 560, we get 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 2710 by 289, we get 9 and a remainder of 109.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139145.26989619
Deduct 2601 from 2710 and we're left with 109.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

Our division results in 139145.26989619 with a remaining 1.09e-07.
