978209 ÷ 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 978209.

Step 1:
9 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
97 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 74 from 97 to get 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 can be fit into 238 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 222 from 238 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 162 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 162 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 132.0
Deduct 148 from 162 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1321.0
Subtract 74 from 140 to get 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 669 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
669 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13219.0
If we subtract 666 from 669, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13219.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13219.04
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13219.04
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13219.0405
If we subtract 370 from 400, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 300 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13219.04054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13219.04054
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13219.0405405
Subtracting 370 from 400 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13219.04054054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13219.04054054 and a remainder of 4e-09.
