876439 divided by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 876439.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 74 from 87, we get 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 74

Step 3:
136 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 74 from 136.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 624 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 624 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 592 from 624, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 323 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 can be fit into 323 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1184.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 296 from 323.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11843.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 222 from 279.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 can be fit into 570 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11843.7
Deduct 518 from 570 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11843.77
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11843.77 and a remainder of 0.002.
