204742 divided by 23 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 204742.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 23 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 23

Step 2:
23 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 23

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 204 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 184 from 204 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 23

Step 4:
When dividing 207 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 207 from 207 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 23

Step 5:
23 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 890.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 23

On to step 6:
When dividing 42 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8901.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 23 from 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 23, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8901.8
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
60 divided by 23 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8901.82
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
23 goes into 140 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8901.826
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8901.826
Subtracting 0 from 20 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
23 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8901.82608
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8901.826086
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 220 by 23, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8901.8260869
If we take 207 away from 220, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 130 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8901.82608695
If we subtract 115 from 130, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 8901.82608695 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
