168887 ÷ 38 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 38 in 168887.

Step 1:
38 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
38 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 goes into 168 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 152 away from 168, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 168 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 152 from 168 to get 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 444.0
If we take 152 away from 168, we end up with 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
38 can be fit into 167 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4444.0
If we take 152 away from 167, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4444.3
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 114 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4444.39
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
38 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4444.394
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 152 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4444.3947
Subtract 266 from 280 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4444.39473
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
38 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4444.394736
If we subtract 228 from 260, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4444.3947368
If we subtract 304 from 320, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4444.39473684
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 4444.39473684, and the remainder is 8e-09.
