We're dividing 117178 by 73 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 73 in 117178.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 73

Step 3:
117 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 73 from 117 and we're left with 44.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 441 / 73

On to step 4:
73 goes into 441 6 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 438 from 441 to get 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 73

Step 5:
37 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
378 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1605.0
Deduct 365 from 378 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1605.1
If we subtract 73 from 130, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
73 goes into 570 7 times with a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1605.17
Deduct 511 from 570 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 590 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1605.178
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 584 from 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1605.178
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1605.17808
Subtracting 584 from 600 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
73 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1605.178082
If we take 146 away from 160, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
73 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 67.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1605.1780821
Subtract 73 from 140 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 670 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1605.17808219
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 657 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1605.17808219 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
