We divide 588428 by 46
The aim is to understand the frequency of 46 in 588428.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 46

On to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 58, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 128 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 92 away from 128, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 364 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 can be fit into 364 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtracting 322 from 364 leaves us with 42.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 422 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1279.0
If we subtract 414 from 422, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 46

Step 6:
46 can be fit into 88 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12791.0
If we subtract 46 from 88, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
420 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12791.9
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12791.91
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12791.913
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:
20 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12791.913
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12791.91304
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12791.913043
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12791.9130434
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us 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 14:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12791.91304347
If we subtract 322 from 360, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12791.91304347, with a leftover of 3.8e-08.
