Let's divide 54717 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 54717.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 547 / 72

On to step 3:
If we divide 547 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 504 from 547.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 431 / 72

Step 4:
72 goes into 431 5 times with a remainder of 71.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtract 360 from 431 to get 71.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 717 / 72

Step 5:
717 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 759.0
Deduct 648 from 717 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 690 9 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 759.9
If we take 648 away from 690, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 420 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 759.95
Subtracting 360 from 420 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 759.958
If we subtract 576 from 600, 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.

On to step 9:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 759.9583
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 759.95833
If we take 216 away from 240, 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.

The quotient of the division is 759.95833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
