72480 ÷ 56 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 56 in 72480.

Step 1:
56 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 56

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 56 from 72 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
56 goes into 164 2 times with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 112 from 164 and we're left with 52.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 528 / 56

Step 4:
When dividing 528 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 504 from 528.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 56

Going ahead to step 5:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1294.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
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 6:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1294.2
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
56 goes into 480 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1294.28
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
56 can be fit into 320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1294.285
Deduct 280 from 320 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:
400 divided by 56 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1294.2857
Subtract 392 from 400 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
56 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1294.28571
If we take 56 away from 80, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1294.285714
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 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 12:
When dividing 160 by 56, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1294.2857142
Deduct 112 from 160 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1294.28571428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 1294.28571428 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
