We're dividing 901701 by 23 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 23 in 901701.

Moving on to step 1:
23 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 90 by 23, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 69 from 90.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 211 / 23

Advancing to step 3:
23 can be fit into 211 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we subtract 207 from 211, we get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 23

On to step 4:
23 goes into 47 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 392.0
If we take 46 away from 47, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 23

Let's proceed to step 5:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3920.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 23

On to step 6:
The number 23 fits into 101 4 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 39204.0
Subtracting 92 from 101 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 39204.3
Subtract 69 from 90 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39204.39
Subtracting 207 from 210 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 30 by 23, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39204.391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
70 divided by 23 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 39204.3913
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 69 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39204.3913
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39204.391304
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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 13:
If we divide 80 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39204.3913043
Subtract 69 from 80 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39204.39130434
Subtracting 92 from 110 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 39204.39130434, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
