We're dividing 74008461 by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 74008461.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 goes into 7 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 can be fit into 14 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 370.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3700.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37004.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 370042.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

Step 7:
When dividing 6 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3700423.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Step 8:
The number 2 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37004230.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37004230.5
If we take 10 away from 10, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 37004230.5
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37004230.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 37004230.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
