Let's divide 174973 by 74
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 174973.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 174 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 148 from 174 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 269 3 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 222 from 269 and we're left with 47.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 477 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 477 6 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 236.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 444 from 477.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 333 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 333 4 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2364.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 296 from 333.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 370 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2364.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 370 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2364.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2364.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2364.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
