Let's divide 852988 by 74
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 852988.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 85 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 85, we get 11.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 112 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 112 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 74 from 112 and we're left with 38.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 389 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 389 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 370 from 389.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 198 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1152.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 148 from 198.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 508 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 508 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11526.0
Deduct 444 from 508 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11526.8
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11526.86
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11526.864
Subtract 296 from 360 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11526.8648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11526.86486
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11526.864864
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11526.8648648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11526.86486486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11526.86486486, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
