We're dividing 242154 by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 242154.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 242 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 242 to get 20.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 201 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 201 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 148 from 201 to get 53.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 535 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 535 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we take 518 away from 535, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 goes into 174 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3272.0
If we take 148 away from 174, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3272.3
Subtracting 222 from 260 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3272.35
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3272.351
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3272.3513
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
380 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3272.35135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3272.351351
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
260 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3272.3513513
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3272.35135135
If we take 370 away from 380, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3272.35135135 and a remainder of 1e-08.
