We divide 2894864 by 487
The aim is to understand the frequency of 487 in 2894864.

Step 1:
2 divided by 487 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 487

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 487, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 289 / 487

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 289 by 487, we get 0 with a remainder of 289.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 289 leaves us with 289.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 289, then repeat: 2894 / 487

Going ahead to step 4:
487 can be fit into 2894 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 459.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 2435 from 2894 to get 459.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 459, then carry on: 4598 / 487

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 487 fits into 4598 9 times, leaving a remainder of 215.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 4383 from 4598, we get 215.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 215, then repeat: 2156 / 487

Moving on to step 6:
The number 487 fits into 2156 4 times, leaving a remainder of 208.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 594.0
If we subtract 1948 from 2156, we get 208.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 208 and repeat the process: 2084 / 487

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 487 fits into 2084 4 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5944.0
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 1948 from 2084.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
1360 divided by 487 is 2 with a remainder of 386.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5944.2
If we take 974 away from 1360, we end up with 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Step 9:
487 goes into 3860 7 times with a remainder of 451.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5944.27
Deduct 3409 from 3860 and we're left with 451.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4510, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 4510 by 487, we get 9 with a remainder of 127.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5944.279
If we subtract 4383 from 4510, we get 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 487 fits into 1270 2 times, leaving a remainder of 296.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5944.2792
Subtracting 974 from 1270 leaves us with 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
2960 divided by 487 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5944.27926
Subtracting 2922 from 2960 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 380 by 487, we get 0 with a remainder of 380.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5944.27926
The remainder is 380 after subtracting 0 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 3800 by 487, we get 7 and a remainder of 391.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5944.2792607
Subtracting 3409 from 3800 leaves us with 391.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3910, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 487 fits into 3910 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5944.27926078
If we take 3896 away from 3910, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5944.27926078 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
