We look at the division of 172340 by 44 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 44 in 172340.

Step 1:
The number 44 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 44

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 44

On to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 172 3 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 132 from 172, we get 40.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 403 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
44 goes into 403 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 396 away from 403, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
74 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 391.0
Subtract 44 from 74 to get 30.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 300 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
44 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3916.0
If we take 264 away from 300, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3916.8
Subtracting 352 from 360 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.

Advancing to step 8:
80 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3916.81
If we take 44 away from 80, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3916.818
Deduct 352 from 360 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3916.8181
Subtracting 44 from 80 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 44, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3916.81818
Subtracting 352 from 360 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
44 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3916.818181
Subtracting 44 from 80 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
44 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3916.8181818
If we take 352 away from 360, 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3916.81818181
Deduct 44 from 80 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3916.81818181 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
