Let's divide 298717 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 298717.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 298 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 298 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 288 from 298 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 107 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 72 from 107 to get 35.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 351 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 351 4 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 414.0
Subtract 288 from 351 to get 63.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 637 / 72

Step 6:
72 can be fit into 637 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4148.0
Subtract 576 from 637 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 610 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4148.8
Deduct 576 from 610 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 72, we get 4 and a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4148.84
If we take 288 away from 340, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 520 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4148.847
If we take 504 away from 520, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
160 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4148.8472
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4148.84722
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4148.84722, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
