We divide 878534 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 878534.

Step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 72 from 87 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
158 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 144 from 158 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 145 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 145 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 144 from 145.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1220.0
If we subtract 0 from 13, we get 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 134 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12201.0
Subtract 72 from 134 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 7:
620 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12201.8
Subtracting 576 from 620 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
440 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12201.86
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12201.861
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
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:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12201.8611
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 12201.8611 with a remainder of 8e-05.
