74538 divided by 71 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 71 in 74538.

Step 1:
71 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 71 from 74 to get 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
35 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 353 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
71 can be fit into 353 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we take 284 away from 353, we end up with 69.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 698 / 71

Advancing to step 5:
71 can be fit into 698 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1049.0
Deduct 639 from 698 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 590 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1049.8
If we subtract 568 from 590, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1049.83
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 213 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 71 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1049.83
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1049.8309
Subtracting 639 from 700 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
71 can be fit into 610 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1049.83098
If we subtract 568 from 610, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
71 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1049.830985
Subtracting 355 from 420 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
71 goes into 650 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1049.8309859
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 639 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 110 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1049.83098591
If we subtract 71 from 110, 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.

The quotient of the division is 1049.83098591, and the remainder is 3.9e-08.
