Let's divide 242872 by 79
The aim is to understand the frequency of 79 in 242872.

Advancing to step 1:
79 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 79

Step 3:
When dividing 242 by 79, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 237 away from 242, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 79

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 58 leaves us with 58.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 587 / 79

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 587 by 79, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 307.0
If we take 553 away from 587, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 342 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3074.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 316 from 342.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
260 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3074.3
Subtract 237 from 260 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
79 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3074.32
Subtract 158 from 230 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
79 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3074.329
Subtracting 711 from 720 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
79 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3074.3291
If we take 79 away from 90, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3074.32911
Subtract 79 from 110 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The final result is 3074.32911 with a remainder of 3.1e-05.
