We're dividing 152874 by 38 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 38 in 152874.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
15 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 38

Step 3:
152 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 152 away from 152, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 87 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 402.0
If we take 76 away from 87, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 38

Step 6:
When dividing 114 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4023.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 114 from 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4023.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
38 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4023.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4023.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
