We're dividing 23004596 by 538 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 538 in 23004596.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 538, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 538

Moving on to step 2:
The number 538 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 538

Step 3:
230 divided by 538 is 0 with a remainder of 230.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 230 to get 230.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 230, then carry on: 2300 / 538

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 2300 by 538, we get 4 with a remainder of 148.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 2152 from 2300, we get 148.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 148, then carry on: 1484 / 538

Step 5:
The number 538 fits into 1484 2 times, leaving a remainder of 408.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 1076 from 1484 to get 408.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 408, then repeat: 4085 / 538

On to step 6:
538 goes into 4085 7 times with a remainder of 319.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 427.0
If we take 3766 away from 4085, we end up with 319.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 319 and repeat the process: 3199 / 538

Step 7:
538 can be fit into 3199 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 509.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4275.0
Deduct 2690 from 3199 and we're left with 509.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 509 and repeat the process: 5096 / 538

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 538 fits into 5096 9 times, leaving a remainder of 254.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42759.0
Subtract 4842 from 5096 to get 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Step 9:
2540 divided by 538 is 4 with a remainder of 388.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42759.4
If we take 2152 away from 2540, we end up with 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
3880 divided by 538 is 7 with a remainder of 114.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42759.47
Subtracting 3766 from 3880 leaves us with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 538 fits into 1140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42759.472
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1076 from 1140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 640 by 538, we get 1 with a remainder of 102.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42759.4721
If we subtract 538 from 640, we get 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
538 goes into 1020 1 times with a remainder of 482.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42759.47211
If we subtract 538 from 1020, we get 482.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4820, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 42759.47211, and the remainder is 0.000482.
