299957 divided by 85 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 85 in 299957.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 85

Step 2:
29 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 85

Step 3:
85 can be fit into 299 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 255 from 299 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 449 / 85

Step 4:
If we divide 449 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 425 from 449 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 85

Advancing to step 5:
85 goes into 245 2 times with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 352.0
Deduct 170 from 245 and we're left with 75.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 75, then repeat: 757 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
85 can be fit into 757 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3528.0
Deduct 680 from 757 and we're left with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 770 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3528.9
Deduct 765 from 770 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3528.9
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3528.905
Deduct 425 from 500 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 3528.9058
If we take 680 away from 750, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 700 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3528.90588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left 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 3528.90588, with a leftover of 2e-05.
