Let's divide 861497 by 24
The aim is to understand the frequency of 24 in 861497.

On to step 1:
24 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 24

On to step 2:
86 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 72 from 86, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 141 / 24

Advancing to step 3:
24 goes into 141 5 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 120 away from 141, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 24

On to step 4:
24 can be fit into 214 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 358.0
Subtracting 192 from 214 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 24

Step 5:
If we divide 229 by 24, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3589.0
If we take 216 away from 229, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 24

Step 6:
When dividing 137 by 24, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35895.0
If we subtract 120 from 137, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 24, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35895.7
Subtracting 168 from 170 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 24 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35895.7
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
24 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35895.708
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35895.7083
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
24 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35895.70833
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 35895.70833, with a leftover of 8e-06.
