We divide 38873449 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 38873449.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 388 / 72

Step 3:
The number 72 fits into 388 5 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 360 from 388 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 72

On to step 4:
72 goes into 287 3 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 53.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 216 from 287.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 713 / 72

Step 5:
The number 72 fits into 713 9 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 539.0
If we subtract 648 from 713, we get 65.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 654 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 654 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5399.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 648 from 654.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 72

On to step 7:
If we divide 64 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 64.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53990.0
Subtract 0 from 64 to get 64.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 649 / 72

Moving on to step 8:
72 can be fit into 649 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 539909.0
Subtract 648 from 649 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
72 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539909.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 72, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 539909.01
If we subtract 72 from 100, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
280 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539909.013
If we subtract 216 from 280, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 539909.0138
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
72 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 539909.01388
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 576 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 539909.01388, and the remainder is 6.4e-05.
