Let's divide 73686 by 59
The aim is to understand the frequency of 59 in 73686.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 59 from 73.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 59

Step 3:
The number 59 fits into 146 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 118 from 146.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 288 4 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtract 236 from 288 to get 52.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 526 / 59

Let's proceed to step 5:
526 divided by 59 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1248.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 472 from 526.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 540 by 59, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1248.9
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 531 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
90 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1248.91
Deduct 59 from 90 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 310 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1248.915
Subtracting 295 from 310 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
150 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1248.9152
If we subtract 118 from 150, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 59 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1248.91525
If we subtract 295 from 320, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
250 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1248.915254
If we subtract 236 from 250, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
140 divided by 59 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1248.9152542
If we subtract 118 from 140, 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
220 divided by 59 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1248.91525423
Deduct 177 from 220 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1248.91525423 with a remaining 4.3e-08.
