We divide 78857 by 38
The aim is to understand the frequency of 38 in 78857.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 76 away from 78, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 38

On to step 3:
28 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 285 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtract 266 from 285 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 197 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2075.0
Subtracting 190 from 197 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
70 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2075.1
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 38 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2075.18
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2075.184
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2075.1842
Deduct 76 from 80 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2075.18421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2075.18421
Deduct 0 from 20 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.

Advancing to step 12:
38 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2075.1842105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2075.18421052
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 76 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2075.18421052, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
