147978 ÷ 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 147978.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 74

Step 3:
74 can be fit into 147 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 74 from 147 leaves us with 73.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 739 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 739 9 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 666 from 739.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 737 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 737 9 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.0
Deduct 666 from 737 and we're left with 71.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 718 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
718 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1999.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 666 from 718.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1999.7
If we take 518 away from 520, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1999.7
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1999.702
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 148 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1999.7027
Deduct 518 from 520 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 20 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1999.7027
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1999.702702
If we subtract 148 from 200, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
520 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1999.7027027
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 518 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1999.7027027
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1999.7027027 with a balance of 2e-08.
