We're dividing 260841 by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 260841.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 260 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 388 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 388 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 370 from 388 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 184 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 352.0
If we take 148 away from 184, we end up with 36.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 361 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
361 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 65.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3524.0
Subtracting 296 from 361 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3524.8
Subtract 592 from 650 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3524.87
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3524.878
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 592 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3524.8783
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 222 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3524.87837
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 12:
620 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3524.878378
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 592 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3524.8783783
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3524.87837837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3524.87837837, and the remainder is 6.2e-08.
