We're dividing 203983 by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 203983.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 74

On to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 203 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 203 2 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 148 away from 203, we end up with 55.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 559 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 559 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 518 from 559 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 418 5 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 275.0
If we subtract 370 from 418, we get 48.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 483 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 483 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2756.0
If we take 444 away from 483, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 390 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2756.5
If we subtract 370 from 390, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2756.52
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 148 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2756.527
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2756.527
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2756.52702
If we subtract 148 from 200, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 520 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2756.527027
If we subtract 518 from 520, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2756.527027
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2756.52702702
Subtract 148 from 200 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final result is 2756.52702702 with a remainder of 5.2e-08.
