Abstract: We investigate the distribution of the digits of quotients of randomly chosen positive integers taken from the interval $[1,T]$, improving the previously known error term for the counting function as $To+infty$. We also resolve some natural variants of the problem concerning points with prime coordinates and points that are visible from the origin.
