538787 divided by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 538787.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 53 and we're left with 53.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 goes into 538 7 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 518 from 538.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 can be fit into 207 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtract 148 from 207 to get 59.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 598 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 598 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 728.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 592 from 598.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 67 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 67.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7280.0
Deduct 0 from 67 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 goes into 670 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.9
If we take 666 away from 670, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7280.9
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.905
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7280.9054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7280.9054
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7280.905405
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7280.9054054
Subtracting 296 from 300 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 74 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7280.9054054
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7280.9054054, and the remainder is 4e-08.
