Let's divide 39187 by 74
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 39187.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 391 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 391 5 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 370 away from 391, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 218 2 times with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 148 from 218, we get 70.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 707 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 707 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 529.0
If we subtract 666 from 707, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 410 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 529.5
If we subtract 370 from 410, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 529.55
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 529.55 with a remaining 0.03.
