16904242 ÷ 973 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 973 in 16904242.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 973

Step 2:
When dividing 16 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 973

Let's proceed to step 3:
973 can be fit into 169 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 169.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 169 to get 169.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 169, then repeat: 1690 / 973

Going ahead to step 4:
1690 divided by 973 is 1 with a remainder of 717.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 717 after subtracting 973 from 1690.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 717 and repeat the process: 7174 / 973

Step 5:
The number 973 fits into 7174 7 times, leaving a remainder of 363.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 6811 from 7174, we get 363.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 363 and continue: 3632 / 973

On to step 6:
3632 divided by 973 is 3 with a remainder of 713.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 2919 from 3632 leaves us with 713.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 713 and repeat the process: 7134 / 973

Let's proceed to step 7:
7134 divided by 973 is 7 with a remainder of 323.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1737.0
Deduct 6811 from 7134 and we're left with 323.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 323, then carry on: 3232 / 973

Step 8:
When dividing 3232 by 973, we get 3 with a remainder of 313.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17373.0
Subtracting 2919 from 3232 leaves us with 313.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
973 goes into 3130 3 times with a remainder of 211.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17373.3
If we subtract 2919 from 3130, we get 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2110, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 2110 by 973, we get 2 with a remainder of 164.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17373.32
Deduct 1946 from 2110 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
973 goes into 1640 1 times with a remainder of 667.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17373.321
Deduct 973 from 1640 and we're left with 667.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6670, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 973 fits into 6670 6 times, leaving a remainder of 832.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17373.3216
Subtracting 5838 from 6670 leaves us with 832.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
973 can be fit into 8320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 536.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17373.32168
The remainder is 536 after subtracting 7784 from 8320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
973 goes into 5360 5 times with a remainder of 495.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17373.321685
Deduct 4865 from 5360 and we're left with 495.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 4950 by 973, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17373.3216855
If we subtract 4865 from 4950, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

The final result is 17373.3216855 with a remainder of 8.5e-07.
