We divide 74842743 by 531
The aim is to understand the frequency of 531 in 74842743.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 531, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 531

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 531, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 74 and we're left with 74.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 748 / 531

Step 3:
If we divide 748 by 531, we get 1 and a remainder of 217.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 531 from 748 to get 217.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 217, then repeat: 2174 / 531

Let's proceed to step 4:
531 goes into 2174 4 times with a remainder of 50.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 2124 from 2174, we get 50.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 502 / 531

On to step 5:
If we divide 502 by 531, we get 0 and a remainder of 502.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtracting 0 from 502 leaves us with 502.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 502, then carry on: 5027 / 531

Advancing to step 6:
The number 531 fits into 5027 9 times, leaving a remainder of 248.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1409.0
The remainder is 248 after subtracting 4779 from 5027.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 248 and continue: 2484 / 531

Moving on to step 7:
531 goes into 2484 4 times with a remainder of 360.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14094.0
The remainder is 360 after subtracting 2124 from 2484.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 360 and continue with: 3603 / 531

Going ahead to step 8:
531 can be fit into 3603 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 417.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140946.0
The remainder is 417 after subtracting 3186 from 3603.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4170, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 531 fits into 4170 7 times, leaving a remainder of 453.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140946.7
Deduct 3717 from 4170 and we're left with 453.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
531 goes into 4530 8 times with a remainder of 282.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140946.78
The remainder is 282 after subtracting 4248 from 4530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 2820 by 531, we get 5 and a remainder of 165.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 140946.785
Subtracting 2655 from 2820 leaves us with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 531 fits into 1650 3 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140946.7853
Subtract 1593 from 1650 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 570 by 531, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140946.78531
Subtract 531 from 570 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
531 goes into 390 0 times with a remainder of 390.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140946.78531
If we take 0 away from 390, we end up with 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3900, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 531 fits into 3900 7 times, leaving a remainder of 183.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140946.7853107
Deduct 3717 from 3900 and we're left with 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
531 can be fit into 1830 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 237.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140946.78531073
Deduct 1593 from 1830 and we're left with 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

Our division results in 140946.78531073 with a remaining 2.37e-07.
