172811 ÷ 47 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 47 in 172811.

Advancing to step 1:
47 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
17 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 47

Step 3:
When dividing 172 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 141 from 172.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 318 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
318 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 282 from 318.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
47 can be fit into 361 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 367.0
If we subtract 329 from 361, we get 32.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 321 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 can be fit into 321 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3676.0
Subtracting 282 from 321 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
47 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3676.8
If we take 376 away from 390, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3676.82
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3676.829
If we subtract 423 from 460, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
47 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3676.8297
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 329 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 410 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3676.82978
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3676.829787
Subtract 329 from 340 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 110 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3676.8297872
Subtracting 94 from 110 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 14:
47 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3676.82978723
Subtracting 141 from 160 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final result is 3676.82978723 with a remainder of 1.9e-08.
