We're dividing 8998972 by 727 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 727 in 8998972.

Moving on to step 1:
727 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 727

Going ahead to step 2:
727 can be fit into 89 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 0 from 89.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 899 / 727

Moving on to step 3:
727 goes into 899 1 times with a remainder of 172.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 727 away from 899, we end up with 172.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 172, then carry on: 1728 / 727

Advancing to step 4:
1728 divided by 727 is 2 with a remainder of 274.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 1454 from 1728 and we're left with 274.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 274, then repeat: 2749 / 727

Let's proceed to step 5:
727 goes into 2749 3 times with a remainder of 568.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtract 2181 from 2749 to get 568.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 568, then repeat: 5687 / 727

Let's proceed to step 6:
727 can be fit into 5687 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 598.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1237.0
If we take 5089 away from 5687, we end up with 598.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 598 and continue: 5982 / 727

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 5982 by 727, we get 8 and a remainder of 166.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12378.0
If we subtract 5816 from 5982, we get 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
727 can be fit into 1660 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 206.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12378.2
The remainder is 206 after subtracting 1454 from 1660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 2060 by 727, we get 2 and a remainder of 606.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12378.22
If we take 1454 away from 2060, we end up with 606.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6060, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12378.22, with a leftover of 0.606.
