We divide 597977 by 72
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 597977.

On to step 1:
72 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
72 goes into 59 0 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 0 from 59.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 597 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
597 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 576 from 597.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 72

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 219 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 216 away from 219, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 72

On to step 5:
When dividing 37 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 830.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 377 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
377 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8305.0
Subtracting 360 from 377 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8305.2
Subtracting 144 from 170 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
72 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8305.23
If we subtract 216 from 260, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
72 can be fit into 440 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8305.236
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 80 by 72, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8305.2361
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8305.23611
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8305.23611 and a remainder of 8e-06.
