23738949 divided by 972 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 972 in 23738949.

On to step 1:
972 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 972

Let's proceed to step 2:
972 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 972

On to step 3:
If we divide 237 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 237.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 237 leaves us with 237.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 237, then repeat: 2373 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
972 goes into 2373 2 times with a remainder of 429.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1944 from 2373 leaves us with 429.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 429 and continue with: 4298 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
4298 divided by 972 is 4 with a remainder of 410.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 3888 away from 4298, we end up with 410.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 410, then repeat: 4109 / 972

Step 6:
If we divide 4109 by 972, we get 4 and a remainder of 221.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 244.0
If we take 3888 away from 4109, we end up with 221.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 221 and continue with: 2214 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 2214 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 270.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2442.0
If we take 1944 away from 2214, we end up with 270.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 270, then carry on: 2709 / 972

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 2709 by 972, we get 2 and a remainder of 765.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24422.0
If we subtract 1944 from 2709, we get 765.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7650, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 7650 by 972, we get 7 with a remainder of 846.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24422.7
Subtract 6804 from 7650 to get 846.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8460, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 972 fits into 8460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 684.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24422.78
If we subtract 7776 from 8460, we get 684.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 6840 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24422.787
If we subtract 6804 from 6840, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 360 by 972, we get 0 and a remainder of 360.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24422.787
Deduct 0 from 360 and we're left with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
972 goes into 3600 3 times with a remainder of 684.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24422.78703
If we take 2916 away from 3600, we end up with 684.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
972 goes into 6840 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24422.787037
If we take 6804 away from 6840, 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.

Advancing to step 15:
972 can be fit into 360 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 360.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24422.787037
Deduct 0 from 360 and we're left with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
3600 divided by 972 is 3 with a remainder of 684.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24422.78703703
If we take 2916 away from 3600, we end up with 684.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

The final result is 24422.78703703 with a remainder of 6.84e-07.
