We're dividing 482396 by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 482396.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 72

Step 2:
48 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 482 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
482 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 50.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 432 away from 482, we end up with 50.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 503 / 72

On to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 503 6 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 66.0
If we take 432 away from 503, we end up with 71.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 719 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 719 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 669.0
Subtract 648 from 719 to get 71.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 716 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 716 9 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6699.0
Subtract 648 from 716 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 680 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6699.9
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6699.94
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6699.944
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 6699.944 with a remainder of 0.0032.
