Let's divide 876541 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 876541.

Let's proceed to step 1:
72 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 72 from 87.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
72 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 144 from 156 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 125 1 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 72 from 125 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 534 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
72 can be fit into 534 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1217.0
Subtracting 504 from 534 leaves us with 30.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 301 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 can be fit into 301 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12174.0
If we subtract 288 from 301, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
72 can be fit into 130 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12174.1
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 72 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12174.18
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 576 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
72 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: 12174.18
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
72 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12174.1805
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12174.18055
If we subtract 360 from 400, 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 final result is 12174.18055 with a remainder of 4e-05.
