We divide 972873 by 78
The aim is to understand the frequency of 78 in 972873.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 78 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 78

On to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 192 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
78 can be fit into 192 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 156 away from 192, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 78

On to step 4:
If we divide 368 by 78, we get 4 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
If we take 312 away from 368, we end up with 56.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 567 / 78

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 567 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1247.0
Subtracting 546 from 567 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 213 / 78

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 78 fits into 213 2 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12472.0
Subtracting 156 from 213 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 78 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12472.7
Subtracting 546 from 570 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12472.73
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12472.73
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 600 by 78, we get 7 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12472.7307
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 546 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 78 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12472.73076
Subtracting 468 from 540 leaves us with 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 12:
720 divided by 78 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12472.730769
If we take 702 away from 720, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12472.7307692
If we take 156 away from 180, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
240 divided by 78 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12472.73076923
If we subtract 234 from 240, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12472.73076923 with a remaining 6e-09.
