989982 divided by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 989982.

Step 1:
9 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 74 from 98 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 74

On to step 3:
74 can be fit into 249 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 222 from 249 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 133.0
Deduct 222 from 279 and we're left with 57.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 578 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 578 7 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1337.0
Deduct 518 from 578 and we're left with 60.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 602 / 74

Step 6:
602 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13378.0
If we subtract 592 from 602, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13378.1
If we subtract 74 from 100, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13378.13
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13378.135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13378.1351
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13378.13513
If we take 222 away from 260, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13378.135135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13378.1351351
If we subtract 74 from 100, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13378.13513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13378.13513513 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
