8724876 ÷ 731 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 731 in 8724876.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 731

Step 2:
87 divided by 731 is 0 with a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 87 and we're left with 87.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 872 / 731

On to step 3:
731 can be fit into 872 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 141.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 731 from 872 to get 141.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 141, then carry on: 1414 / 731

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1414 by 731, we get 1 and a remainder of 683.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 731 from 1414 leaves us with 683.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 683, then repeat: 6838 / 731

Going ahead to step 5:
731 goes into 6838 9 times with a remainder of 259.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 6579 from 6838 leaves us with 259.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 259 and continue with: 2597 / 731

Step 6:
If we divide 2597 by 731, we get 3 and a remainder of 404.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1193.0
Deduct 2193 from 2597 and we're left with 404.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 404, then repeat: 4046 / 731

On to step 7:
The number 731 fits into 4046 5 times, leaving a remainder of 391.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11935.0
Deduct 3655 from 4046 and we're left with 391.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3910, and continue the process.

Step 8:
731 goes into 3910 5 times with a remainder of 255.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11935.5
Subtracting 3655 from 3910 leaves us with 255.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
2550 divided by 731 is 3 with a remainder of 357.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11935.53
Deduct 2193 from 2550 and we're left with 357.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 3570 by 731, we get 4 with a remainder of 646.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11935.534
If we take 2924 away from 3570, we end up with 646.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
6460 divided by 731 is 8 with a remainder of 612.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11935.5348
If we subtract 5848 from 6460, we get 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
731 goes into 6120 8 times with a remainder of 272.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11935.53488
If we take 5848 away from 6120, we end up with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11935.53488 with a remaining 0.000272.
