We divide 457742 by 74
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 457742.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 45 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 457 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 457 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 444 away from 457, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 137 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 63.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 74 from 137 to get 63.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 634 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 634 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 618.0
If we subtract 592 from 634, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
422 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 52.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6185.0
Deduct 370 from 422 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6185.7
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.

Step 8:
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: 6185.7
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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 9:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6185.702
If we take 148 away from 200, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6185.7027
If we take 518 away from 520, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6185.7027
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6185.702702
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6185.7027027
If we take 518 away from 520, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6185.7027027
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

The final result is 6185.7027027 with a remainder of 2e-08.
