We divide 742649 by 74
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 742649.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 74 from 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
26 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 264 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1003.0
If we take 222 away from 264, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 goes into 429 5 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10035.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 370 from 429.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 590 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 72.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10035.7
If we subtract 518 from 590, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 720 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10035.79
If we take 666 away from 720, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 540 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10035.797
If we subtract 518 from 540, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10035.7972
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10035.79729
Subtract 666 from 720 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10035.797297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10035.7972972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10035.79729729
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The final result is 10035.79729729 with a remainder of 5.4e-08.
