We look at the division of 176984 by 24 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 24 in 176984.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 24 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 24

On to step 2:
17 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 176 by 24, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 168 from 176.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 24

On to step 4:
If we divide 89 by 24, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 72 from 89 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 24

Step 5:
24 can be fit into 178 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 737.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 168 from 178.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 24

Step 6:
24 can be fit into 104 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7374.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 96 from 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7374.3
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7374.33
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.

The final outcome is 7374.33, with a leftover of 0.008.
