We look at the division of 43274698 by 172 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 172 in 43274698.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 172

Advancing to step 2:
172 can be fit into 43 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 43, we end up with 43.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 432 / 172

Step 3:
172 goes into 432 2 times with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 344 from 432 leaves us with 88.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 88 and continue: 887 / 172

On to step 4:
When dividing 887 by 172, we get 5 with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 860 from 887, we get 27.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 172

Step 5:
172 goes into 274 1 times with a remainder of 102.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 251.0
If we take 172 away from 274, we end up with 102.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 102 and continue: 1026 / 172

Moving on to step 6:
172 can be fit into 1026 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2515.0
Subtract 860 from 1026 to get 166.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 166, then repeat: 1669 / 172

Moving on to step 7:
172 can be fit into 1669 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 121.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25159.0
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 1548 from 1669.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 121, then carry on: 1218 / 172

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1218 by 172, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 251597.0
Subtracting 1204 from 1218 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
172 can be fit into 140 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 140.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 251597.0
Deduct 0 from 140 and we're left with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
1400 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 251597.08
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 1376 from 1400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 172 fits into 240 1 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 251597.081
If we take 172 away from 240, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 680 by 172, we get 3 and a remainder of 164.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 251597.0813
If we take 516 away from 680, we end up with 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 1640 by 172, we get 9 and a remainder of 92.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 251597.08139
Deduct 1548 from 1640 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 172 fits into 920 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 251597.081395
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 860 from 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
172 can be fit into 600 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 251597.0813953
If we take 516 away from 600, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
172 can be fit into 840 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 251597.08139534
Subtract 688 from 840 to get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 251597.08139534, and the remainder is 1.52e-07.
