We're dividing 974827 by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 974827.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
97 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 97, we get 23.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 74

On to step 3:
234 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 222 from 234 to get 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 74

Step 4:
128 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 54.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtract 74 from 128 to get 54.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 542 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 542 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1317.0
Deduct 518 from 542 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
247 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13173.0
If we subtract 222 from 247, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
250 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13173.3
If we take 222 away from 250, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13173.33
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13173.33, with a leftover of 0.058.
