We look at the division of 26261459 by 972 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 972 in 26261459.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 972 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
972 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 262 / 972

Advancing to step 3:
972 goes into 262 0 times with a remainder of 262.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 262 and we're left with 262.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 262 and continue: 2626 / 972

Going ahead to step 4:
972 goes into 2626 2 times with a remainder of 682.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1944 from 2626 and we're left with 682.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 682, then carry on: 6821 / 972

Step 5:
6821 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 6804 from 6821, we get 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 972

Going ahead to step 6:
972 goes into 174 0 times with a remainder of 174.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 270.0
Subtracting 0 from 174 leaves us with 174.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 174, then repeat: 1745 / 972

On to step 7:
1745 divided by 972 is 1 with a remainder of 773.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2701.0
The remainder is 773 after subtracting 972 from 1745.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 773 and continue: 7739 / 972

Moving on to step 8:
972 can be fit into 7739 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 935.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27017.0
Subtracting 6804 from 7739 leaves us with 935.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9350, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
9350 divided by 972 is 9 with a remainder of 602.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27017.9
If we subtract 8748 from 9350, we get 602.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 972 fits into 6020 6 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 27017.96
If we subtract 5832 from 6020, we get 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
972 can be fit into 1880 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 908.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27017.961
If we take 972 away from 1880, we end up with 908.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
972 goes into 9080 9 times with a remainder of 332.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27017.9619
The remainder is 332 after subtracting 8748 from 9080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
972 can be fit into 3320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 404.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27017.96193
Subtract 2916 from 3320 to get 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
972 goes into 4040 4 times with a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27017.961934
Deduct 3888 from 4040 and we're left with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 1520 by 972, we get 1 and a remainder of 548.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27017.9619341
Subtract 972 from 1520 to get 548.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 5480 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 620.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 27017.96193415
If we subtract 4860 from 5480, we get 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 27017.96193415, and the remainder is 6.2e-07.
