264853 divided by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 264853.

Step 1:
2 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 72

Step 3:
When dividing 264 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 48.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 216 from 264, we get 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 488 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 432 from 488, we get 56.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 565 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
565 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 367.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 504 from 565.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 613 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 613 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3678.0
If we subtract 576 from 613, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
72 can be fit into 370 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3678.5
If we subtract 360 from 370, 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3678.51
Deduct 72 from 100 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 72 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3678.513
Subtracting 216 from 280 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3678.5138
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 640 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3678.51388
If we take 576 away from 640, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3678.51388 and a remainder of 6.4e-05.
