We divide 257914 by 87
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 257914.

Step 1:
87 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 87

Step 2:
25 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 83.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 174 from 257 leaves us with 83.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 83 and continue with: 839 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 goes into 839 9 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 783 from 839 and we're left with 56.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 561 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
87 can be fit into 561 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 296.0
If we subtract 522 from 561, we get 39.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 394 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 394 4 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2964.0
Deduct 348 from 394 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2964.5
Deduct 435 from 460 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
250 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2964.52
Deduct 174 from 250 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2964.528
Subtracting 696 from 760 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2964.5287
Subtract 609 from 640 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
310 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2964.52873
If we subtract 261 from 310, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2964.528735
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 435 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 550 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2964.5287356
If we take 522 away from 550, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
87 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2964.52873563
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 261 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2964.52873563 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
