Let's divide 40720229 by 259
The aim is to understand the frequency of 259 in 40720229.

Moving on to step 1:
259 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 259

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 259, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 259

Going ahead to step 3:
259 goes into 407 1 times with a remainder of 148.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 148 after subtracting 259 from 407.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 148 and continue: 1482 / 259

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1482 by 259, we get 5 with a remainder of 187.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 1295 from 1482 and we're left with 187.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 187 and continue with: 1870 / 259

Advancing to step 5:
1870 divided by 259 is 7 with a remainder of 57.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157.0
If we take 1813 away from 1870, we end up with 57.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 572 / 259

Advancing to step 6:
The number 259 fits into 572 2 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1572.0
If we subtract 518 from 572, we get 54.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 542 / 259

Let's proceed to step 7:
542 divided by 259 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15722.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 518 from 542.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 249 / 259

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 249 by 259, we get 0 with a remainder of 249.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157220.0
If we subtract 0 from 249, we get 249.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 2490 by 259, we get 9 with a remainder of 159.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 157220.9
Subtracting 2331 from 2490 leaves us with 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 1590 by 259, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157220.96
If we take 1554 away from 1590, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 259 fits into 360 1 times, leaving a remainder of 101.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 157220.961
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 259 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
259 can be fit into 1010 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 233.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157220.9613
If we take 777 away from 1010, we end up with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 259 fits into 2330 8 times, leaving a remainder of 258.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157220.96138
Subtract 2072 from 2330 to get 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2580 divided by 259 is 9 with a remainder of 249.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 157220.961389
The remainder is 249 after subtracting 2331 from 2580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
259 goes into 2490 9 times with a remainder of 159.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 157220.9613899
Deduct 2331 from 2490 and we're left with 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

The final result is 157220.9613899 with a remainder of 1.59e-06.
