248907 divided by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 248907.

Going ahead to step 1:
72 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 248 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 248 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 216 from 248 to get 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 329 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 288 from 329.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 410 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 345.0
Subtract 360 from 410 to get 50.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 507 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 507 by 72, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3457.0
If we subtract 504 from 507, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 30 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3457.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 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:
72 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3457.04
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3457.041
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 72 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 480 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3457.0416
Deduct 432 from 480 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3457.04166
If we subtract 432 from 480, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3457.04166 and a remainder of 4.8e-05.
