We look at the division of 314736 by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 314736.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 314 / 72

On to step 3:
72 goes into 314 4 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 288 from 314 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 267 / 72

Step 4:
The number 72 fits into 267 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 216 away from 267, we end up with 51.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 513 / 72

On to step 5:
513 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 504 from 513.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 96 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4371.0
Subtracting 72 from 96 leaves us 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 7:
72 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4371.3
Subtract 216 from 240 to 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 8:
72 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4371.33
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.

Our division results in 4371.33 with a remaining 0.024.
