Let's divide 74642 by 74
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 74642.

Going ahead to step 1:
74 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 74

Step 2:
74 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 74, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 64 0 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 642 / 74

On to step 5:
When dividing 642 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 50.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1008.0
Subtract 592 from 642 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1008.6
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 560 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1008.67
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1008.675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1008.6756
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1008.67567
If we take 518 away from 560, 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 11:
The number 74 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1008.675675
Deduct 370 from 420 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1008.6756756
If we take 444 away from 500, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1008.67567567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1008.67567567, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
