862959 divided by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 862959.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
72 can be fit into 86 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 72 from 86 to get 14.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 72

On to step 3:
142 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 72 from 142 and we're left with 70.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 709 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 709 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 119.0
Deduct 648 from 709 and we're left with 61.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 615 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 615 by 72, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1198.0
Subtract 576 from 615 to get 39.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 399 / 72

Step 6:
If we divide 399 by 72, we get 5 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11985.0
If we subtract 360 from 399, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11985.5
Subtract 360 from 390 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11985.54
Subtracting 288 from 300 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11985.541
Deduct 72 from 120 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 72, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11985.5416
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 432 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11985.54166
Subtract 432 from 480 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.

Our division results in 11985.54166 with a remaining 4.8e-05.
