We look at the division of 469689 by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 469689.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 469 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
469 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 469 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 376 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 376 5 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 360 from 376 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 652.0
If we subtract 144 from 168, we get 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 249 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6523.0
Subtract 216 from 249 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 72 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6523.4
If we take 288 away from 330, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6523.45
Subtract 360 from 420 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
72 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6523.458
Subtract 576 from 600 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6523.4583
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6523.45833
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6523.45833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
