We're dividing 76972878 by 176 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 176 in 76972878.

On to step 1:
176 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 176

Moving on to step 2:
176 can be fit into 76 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 76, we get 76.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 769 / 176

Advancing to step 3:
769 divided by 176 is 4 with a remainder of 65.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 704 from 769 to get 65.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 657 / 176

On to step 4:
The number 176 fits into 657 3 times, leaving a remainder of 129.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 528 from 657, we get 129.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 129, then repeat: 1292 / 176

Going ahead to step 5:
176 goes into 1292 7 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.0
If we take 1232 away from 1292, we end up with 60.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 608 / 176

On to step 6:
The number 176 fits into 608 3 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4373.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 528 from 608.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 807 / 176

Step 7:
176 can be fit into 807 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 103.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43734.0
Deduct 704 from 807 and we're left with 103.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 103 and continue: 1038 / 176

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 1038 by 176, we get 5 and a remainder of 158.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437345.0
If we subtract 880 from 1038, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
1580 divided by 176 is 8 with a remainder of 172.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437345.8
If we take 1408 away from 1580, we end up with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 1720 by 176, we get 9 and a remainder of 136.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437345.89
Deduct 1584 from 1720 and we're left with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 1360 by 176, we get 7 with a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 437345.897
If we subtract 1232 from 1360, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
1280 divided by 176 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 437345.8977
Subtract 1232 from 1280 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 437345.8977, and the remainder is 0.00048.
