172177 ÷ 56 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 56 in 172177.

Step 1:
The number 56 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 172 / 56

Moving on to step 3:
172 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 168 from 172 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 41 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 0 from 41.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 56

Step 5:
56 can be fit into 417 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 307.0
Subtracting 392 from 417 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 257 by 56, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3074.0
Subtracting 224 from 257 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 56 fits into 330 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3074.5
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 280 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
56 goes into 500 8 times with a remainder of 52.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3074.58
Deduct 448 from 500 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 520 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3074.589
If we subtract 504 from 520, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 56 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3074.5892
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 112 from 160.
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:
480 divided by 56 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3074.58928
Subtracting 448 from 480 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3074.589285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3074.5892857
If we take 392 away from 400, 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 80 by 56, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3074.58928571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3074.58928571 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
