We divide 53845658 by 172
The aim is to understand the frequency of 172 in 53845658.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 172

Moving on to step 2:
172 goes into 53 0 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 53, we get 53.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 538 / 172

On to step 3:
172 can be fit into 538 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 516 from 538, we get 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 172

Advancing to step 4:
The number 172 fits into 224 1 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 172 away from 224, we end up with 52.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 525 / 172

Going ahead to step 5:
525 divided by 172 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 313.0
Deduct 516 from 525 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 172

Let's proceed to step 6:
96 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3130.0
If we take 0 away from 96, we end up with 96.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 96 and repeat the process: 965 / 172

Advancing to step 7:
The number 172 fits into 965 5 times, leaving a remainder of 105.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31305.0
Subtracting 860 from 965 leaves us with 105.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 105, then repeat: 1058 / 172

Going ahead to step 8:
172 can be fit into 1058 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 313056.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 1032 from 1058.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
172 can be fit into 260 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 313056.1
If we take 172 away from 260, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 172 fits into 880 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 313056.15
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 860 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 172, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 313056.151
Subtract 172 from 200 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
280 divided by 172 is 1 with a remainder of 108.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 313056.1511
If we take 172 away from 280, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 313056.1511 and a remainder of 0.00108.
