We divide 38732679 by 742
The aim is to understand the frequency of 742 in 38732679.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 742 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 742

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 742, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 387 / 742

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 387 by 742, we get 0 with a remainder of 387.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 387, we end up with 387.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 387 and continue with: 3873 / 742

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 3873 by 742, we get 5 and a remainder of 163.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 3710 away from 3873, we end up with 163.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 163 and continue with: 1632 / 742

On to step 5:
When dividing 1632 by 742, we get 2 with a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtract 1484 from 1632 to get 148.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 148 and continue with: 1486 / 742

Step 6:
1486 divided by 742 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 522.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 1484 from 1486.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 742

Going ahead to step 7:
742 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5220.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 742

Moving on to step 8:
The number 742 fits into 279 0 times, leaving a remainder of 279.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 52200.0
If we subtract 0 from 279, we get 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
2790 divided by 742 is 3 with a remainder of 564.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 52200.3
Subtracting 2226 from 2790 leaves us with 564.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 742 fits into 5640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 446.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52200.37
The remainder is 446 after subtracting 5194 from 5640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
742 goes into 4460 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52200.376
Deduct 4452 from 4460 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 80 by 742, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 52200.376
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.

Step 13:
800 divided by 742 is 1 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 52200.37601
Subtract 742 from 800 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 742 fits into 580 0 times, leaving a remainder of 580.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52200.37601
Subtracting 0 from 580 leaves us with 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 742 fits into 5800 7 times, leaving a remainder of 606.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52200.3760107
If we subtract 5194 from 5800, we get 606.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
742 goes into 6060 8 times with a remainder of 124.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 52200.37601078
If we subtract 5936 from 6060, we get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 52200.37601078 and a remainder of 1.24e-07.
