We look at the division of 74088238 by 173 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 173 in 74088238.

Advancing to step 1:
173 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 173

Step 2:
If we divide 74 by 173, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 740 / 173

Let's proceed to step 3:
740 divided by 173 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 692 from 740, we get 48.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 488 / 173

Moving on to step 4:
488 divided by 173 is 2 with a remainder of 142.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 346 from 488.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 142, then carry on: 1428 / 173

Going ahead to step 5:
173 can be fit into 1428 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 428.0
Deduct 1384 from 1428 and we're left with 44.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 442 / 173

Step 6:
When dividing 442 by 173, we get 2 with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4282.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 346 from 442.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 96, then repeat: 963 / 173

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 173 fits into 963 5 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42825.0
If we take 865 away from 963, we end up with 98.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 98 and continue with: 988 / 173

Advancing to step 8:
173 can be fit into 988 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 428255.0
The remainder is 123 after subtracting 865 from 988.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 1230 by 173, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 428255.7
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 1211 from 1230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
173 can be fit into 190 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 428255.71
If we subtract 173 from 190, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
173 goes into 170 0 times with a remainder of 170.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 428255.71
The remainder is 170 after subtracting 0 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1700 divided by 173 is 9 with a remainder of 143.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 428255.7109
The remainder is 143 after subtracting 1557 from 1700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
173 goes into 1430 8 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 428255.71098
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 1384 from 1430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 460 by 173, we get 2 with a remainder of 114.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 428255.710982
If we subtract 346 from 460, we get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
1140 divided by 173 is 6 with a remainder of 102.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 428255.7109826
Subtract 1038 from 1140 to get 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 1020 by 173, we get 5 and a remainder of 155.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 428255.71098265
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 865 from 1020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 428255.71098265, and the remainder is 1.55e-07.
