257298 divided by 74 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 74 in 257298.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 74

Step 3:
The number 74 fits into 257 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 257 to get 35.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 352 / 74

Step 4:
The number 74 fits into 352 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 296 from 352 and we're left with 56.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 569 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 569 7 times with a remainder of 51.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 347.0
Subtract 518 from 569 to get 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 518 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3477.0
If we take 518 away from 518, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3477.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3477.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.
