734979 divided by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 734979.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
73 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 72 from 73, we get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
72 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 149 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 144 from 149.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 57 0 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1020.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 0 from 57.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 579 / 72

On to step 6:
579 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10208.0
If we subtract 576 from 579, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10208.0
Deduct 0 from 30 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10208.04
Deduct 288 from 300 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10208.041
Deduct 72 from 120 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 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10208.0416
If we take 432 away from 480, 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10208.04166
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
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 10208.04166, and the remainder is 4.8e-05.
