We divide 465887 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 465887.

Step 1:
The number 72 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 465 / 72

Step 3:
If we divide 465 by 72, we get 6 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 465 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 338 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 338 4 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 64.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 288 from 338.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 508 / 72

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 508 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 647.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 504 from 508.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 72

Step 6:
47 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6470.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
470 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6470.6
If we subtract 432 from 470, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
72 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6470.65
If we subtract 360 from 380, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6470.652
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 144 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
560 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6470.6527
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6470.65277
Deduct 504 from 560 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 6470.65277 with a remainder of 5.6e-05.
