We're dividing 12179838 by 164 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 164 in 12179838.

Step 1:
The number 164 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 164

Going ahead to step 2:
164 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 164

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 121 by 164, we get 0 and a remainder of 121.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 121, we end up with 121.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 121 and repeat the process: 1217 / 164

Advancing to step 4:
1217 divided by 164 is 7 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 1148 from 1217, we get 69.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 699 / 164

Step 5:
164 goes into 699 4 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 656 away from 699, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 438 / 164

On to step 6:
When dividing 438 by 164, we get 2 with a remainder of 110.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 742.0
Subtracting 328 from 438 leaves us with 110.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 110 and repeat the process: 1103 / 164

Let's proceed to step 7:
164 goes into 1103 6 times with a remainder of 119.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7426.0
If we subtract 984 from 1103, we get 119.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 119, then carry on: 1198 / 164

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 164 fits into 1198 7 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74267.0
If we subtract 1148 from 1198, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
500 divided by 164 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74267.3
Subtract 492 from 500 to get 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 10:
The number 164 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74267.3
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
800 divided by 164 is 4 with a remainder of 144.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74267.304
Subtract 656 from 800 to get 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 164 fits into 1440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74267.3048
If we subtract 1312 from 1440, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 1280 by 164, we get 7 with a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 74267.30487
Subtract 1148 from 1280 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1320 by 164, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74267.304878
Deduct 1312 from 1320 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.

On to step 15:
If we divide 80 by 164, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74267.304878
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
164 can be fit into 800 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74267.30487804
Deduct 656 from 800 and we're left with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 74267.30487804, and the remainder is 1.44e-07.
