We're dividing 549959 by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 549959.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 549 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 549 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 518 from 549 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 319 4 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we subtract 296 from 319, we get 23.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
235 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 743.0
Deduct 222 from 235 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 139 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7431.0
If we subtract 74 from 139, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 58.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7431.8
Subtract 592 from 650 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7431.87
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7431.878
Subtracting 592 from 620 leaves us 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 10:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7431.8783
If we subtract 222 from 280, we 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.

Step 11:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7431.87837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7431.878378
If we subtract 592 from 620, we 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.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7431.8783783
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7431.87837837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7431.87837837, and the remainder is 6.2e-08.
