Let's divide 978259 by 74
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 978259.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 97 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 goes into 238 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 222 from 238 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 162 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 132.0
Deduct 148 from 162 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 145 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 can be fit into 145 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1321.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 74 from 145.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 719 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 719 9 times with a remainder of 53.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13219.0
If we subtract 666 from 719, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 530 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13219.7
If we subtract 518 from 530, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13219.71
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13219.716
Subtract 444 from 460 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.

Advancing to step 10:
74 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13219.7162
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13219.71621
Deduct 74 from 120 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13219.716216
If we take 444 away from 460, we end up 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 13:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13219.7162162
Deduct 148 from 160 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
120 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13219.71621621
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13219.71621621 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
