We divide 28972 by 5
The aim is to understand the frequency of 5 in 28972.

Advancing to step 1:
5 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 5

Advancing to step 2:
28 divided by 5 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 25 from 28 to get 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 5

Advancing to step 3:
5 goes into 39 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 35 away from 39, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 5

On to step 4:
When dividing 47 by 5, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 579.0
If we subtract 45 from 47, we get 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 5

Advancing to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 22 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5794.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 20 from 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 20 by 5, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5794.4
If we take 20 away from 20, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5794.4
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5794.4
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5794.4 and a remainder of 0.0.
