495978 ÷ 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 495978.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 495 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 goes into 495 6 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 444 away from 495, we end up with 51.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 519 / 74

On to step 4:
When dividing 519 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 518 away from 519, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 74

On to step 5:
74 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 670.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 74

On to step 6:
When dividing 178 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6702.0
If we take 148 away from 178, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6702.4
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6702.4
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6702.405
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6702.4054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6702.4054
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6702.405405
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
300 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6702.4054054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 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 14:
The number 74 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6702.4054054
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6702.4054054, and the remainder is 4e-08.
