We look at the division of 601874 by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 601874.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 601 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
601 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 9.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 592 from 601 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we take 74 away from 98, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 247 3 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 813.0
Subtract 222 from 247 to get 25.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 254 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8133.0
Subtract 222 from 254 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8133.4
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8133.43
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8133.432
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8133.4324
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8133.43243
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8133.432432
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 148 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8133.4324324
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 240 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8133.43243243
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 8133.43243243 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
