We're dividing 217873 by 32 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 32 in 217873.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 32, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 32

Let's proceed to step 2:
32 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 32

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 32 fits into 217 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 192 from 217, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 32

Let's proceed to step 4:
32 can be fit into 258 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 256 from 258, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 32

Let's proceed to step 5:
27 divided by 32 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 680.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 273 / 32

Step 6:
When dividing 273 by 32, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6808.0
Subtracting 256 from 273 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 32 fits into 170 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6808.5
Deduct 160 from 170 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
32 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6808.53
Subtracting 96 from 100 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 32 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6808.531
Deduct 32 from 40 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 32, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6808.5312
Subtracting 64 from 80 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.

Step 11:
160 divided by 32 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6808.53125
If we take 160 away from 160, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 32, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6808.53125
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 13:
32 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6808.53125
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6808.53125 with a remaining 0.0.
