We divide 71708 by 24
The aim is to understand the frequency of 24 in 71708.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 24, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 24

On to step 2:
The number 24 fits into 71 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 48 from 71.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 237 / 24

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 237 by 24, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 216 from 237, we get 21.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 210 / 24

Going ahead to step 4:
24 can be fit into 210 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 298.0
Subtract 192 from 210 to get 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 24

Step 5:
24 goes into 188 7 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2987.0
If we take 168 away from 188, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
24 can be fit into 200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2987.8
If we take 192 away from 200, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
24 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2987.83
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2987.833
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2987.833, and the remainder is 0.0008.
