Let's divide 148237 by 54
The aim is to understand the frequency of 54 in 148237.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 54

Step 2:
54 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 54

Advancing to step 3:
54 goes into 148 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 108 from 148, we get 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
402 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 378 from 402 to get 24.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 243 / 54

Step 5:
If we divide 243 by 54, we get 4 and a remainder of 27.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 274.0
If we take 216 away from 243, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 54

Advancing to step 6:
The number 54 fits into 277 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2745.0
Deduct 270 from 277 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 70 by 54, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2745.1
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 54 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 54 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2745.12
If we take 108 away from 160, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
54 goes into 520 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2745.129
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 486 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 54, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2745.1296
Deduct 324 from 340 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
54 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2745.12962
Subtract 108 from 160 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 54 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2745.129629
Deduct 486 from 520 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 54, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2745.1296296
If we subtract 324 from 340, 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.

Moving on to step 14:
54 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2745.12962962
Subtracting 108 from 160 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2745.12962962 and a remainder of 5.2e-08.
