Let's divide 71487 by 26
The aim is to understand the frequency of 26 in 71487.

On to step 1:
26 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 26

On to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 26, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 52 from 71.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 26

On to step 3:
When dividing 194 by 26, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 182 from 194.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 26

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 128 by 26, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274.0
If we take 104 away from 128, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 26

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 26 fits into 247 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2749.0
Subtracting 234 from 247 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 130 by 26, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2749.5
If we take 130 away from 130, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
0 divided by 26 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2749.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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:
26 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2749.5
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

The final outcome is 2749.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
