Let's divide 974860 by 24
The aim is to understand the frequency of 24 in 974860.

Step 1:
9 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 24

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 24, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 24

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 24

Moving on to step 4:
24 can be fit into 148 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 406.0
Subtract 144 from 148 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 24

Moving on to step 5:
24 can be fit into 46 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4061.0
Subtracting 24 from 46 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 220 / 24

On to step 6:
If we divide 220 by 24, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40619.0
Subtracting 216 from 220 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40619.1
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 24 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40619.16
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
24 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40619.166
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 40619.166 and a remainder of 0.0016.
