We're dividing 144272 by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 144272.

Step 1:
2 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 2

Step 2:
14 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 14 from 14, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 2

Step 3:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 721.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 2

Step 5:
7 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7213.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 12 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 72136.0
Subtract 12 from 12 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72136.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72136.0
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 result is 72136.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
