We divide 988207 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 988207.

Step 1:
9 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 98 to get 26.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 268 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
268 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 216 from 268 leaves us with 52.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 522 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 522 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
Subtract 504 from 522 to get 18.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 180 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1372.0
Subtract 144 from 180 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 72

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 367 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13725.0
Deduct 360 from 367 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
70 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13725.0
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
700 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13725.09
If we subtract 648 from 700, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13725.097
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
72 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13725.0972
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 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 11:
72 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13725.09722
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

The final outcome is 13725.09722, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
