Let's divide 23599884 by 172
The aim is to understand the frequency of 172 in 23599884.

Advancing to step 1:
172 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 172

Step 2:
23 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 235 / 172

Step 3:
235 divided by 172 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 172 from 235.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 639 / 172

On to step 4:
If we divide 639 by 172, we get 3 and a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 123 after subtracting 516 from 639.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 123 and continue with: 1239 / 172

On to step 5:
If we divide 1239 by 172, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
If we subtract 1204 from 1239, we get 35.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 358 / 172

On to step 6:
172 goes into 358 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1372.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 344 from 358.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 172

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 148 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 148.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13720.0
The remainder is 148 after subtracting 0 from 148.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 148 and continue: 1484 / 172

On to step 8:
If we divide 1484 by 172, we get 8 and a remainder of 108.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 137208.0
If we subtract 1376 from 1484, we get 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
172 can be fit into 1080 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137208.6
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 1032 from 1080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
172 can be fit into 480 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 136.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 137208.62
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 344 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
1360 divided by 172 is 7 with a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137208.627
Subtract 1204 from 1360 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 172 fits into 1560 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137208.6279
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 1548 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 172, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137208.6279
If we subtract 0 from 120, we get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
1200 divided by 172 is 6 with a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137208.627906
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 1032 from 1200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 172 fits into 1680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137208.6279069
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 1548 from 1680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
172 can be fit into 1320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137208.62790697
If we subtract 1204 from 1320, we get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 137208.62790697 with a balance of 1.16e-07.
