Let's divide 18766836 by 252
The aim is to understand the frequency of 252 in 18766836.

Step 1:
252 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 252

On to step 2:
252 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 252

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 187 by 252, we get 0 and a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 187 after subtracting 0 from 187.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 187 and continue with: 1876 / 252

Advancing to step 4:
The number 252 fits into 1876 7 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 1764 from 1876 and we're left with 112.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 112 and repeat the process: 1126 / 252

On to step 5:
The number 252 fits into 1126 4 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 1008 from 1126.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 118, then repeat: 1188 / 252

Step 6:
If we divide 1188 by 252, we get 4 and a remainder of 180.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 744.0
Subtract 1008 from 1188 to get 180.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 180 and continue: 1803 / 252

On to step 7:
The number 252 fits into 1803 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7447.0
Deduct 1764 from 1803 and we're left with 39.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 396 / 252

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 252 fits into 396 1 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74471.0
If we take 252 away from 396, we end up with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 252 fits into 1440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 74471.5
Deduct 1260 from 1440 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 1800 by 252, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74471.57
If we subtract 1764 from 1800, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
252 goes into 360 1 times with a remainder of 108.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74471.571
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 252 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
252 goes into 1080 4 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74471.5714
Subtract 1008 from 1080 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 720 by 252, we get 2 with a remainder of 216.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 74471.57142
If we subtract 504 from 720, we get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 2160 by 252, we get 8 and a remainder of 144.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74471.571428
Subtracting 2016 from 2160 leaves us with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
1440 divided by 252 is 5 with a remainder of 180.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 74471.5714285
Subtract 1260 from 1440 to get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
252 goes into 1800 7 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74471.57142857
If we subtract 1764 from 1800, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 74471.57142857 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
