297494 divided by 23 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 297494.

Let's proceed to step 1:
23 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 23

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 23 from 29, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 23

On to step 3:
67 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 46 from 67 to get 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 23

On to step 4:
23 can be fit into 214 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtract 207 from 214 to get 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 23

Advancing to step 5:
23 goes into 79 3 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1293.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 69 from 79.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 23

Step 6:
If we divide 104 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12934.0
Subtract 92 from 104 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 23, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12934.5
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
23 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12934.52
Subtract 46 from 50 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 23 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12934.521
Deduct 23 from 40 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 23, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12934.5217
If we take 161 away from 170, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 23 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12934.52173
Deduct 69 from 90 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 23 fits into 210 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12934.521739
Subtract 207 from 210 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 23, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12934.5217391
Deduct 23 from 30 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12934.52173913
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 69 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12934.52173913 with a balance of 1e-09.
