180827 ÷ 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 180827.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 72, we get 0 and 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.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 72

On to step 2:
72 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 180 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
180 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 144 from 180 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 368 5 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 360 from 368.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 82 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 251.0
If we subtract 72 from 82, we get 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 107 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2511.0
If we take 72 away from 107, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
350 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2511.4
Subtract 288 from 350 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2511.48
Subtract 576 from 620 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2511.486
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
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 10:
80 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2511.4861
Subtracting 72 from 80 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2511.48611
If we take 72 away from 80, 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.

Our division results in 2511.48611 with a remaining 8e-06.
