We're dividing 296741 by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 296741.

Step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 296 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 288 from 296, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 72 from 87 to get 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
154 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 412.0
If we take 144 away from 154, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
101 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4121.0
If we subtract 72 from 101, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 290 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4121.4
Deduct 288 from 290 and we're left 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 8:
When dividing 20 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4121.4
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4121.402
Deduct 144 from 200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4121.4027
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 504 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4121.40277
Subtract 504 from 560 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4121.40277 with a remaining 5.6e-05.
