We're dividing 271954 by 87 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 271954.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 87

Step 2:
87 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
271 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 261 away from 271, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
87 can be fit into 109 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 87 from 109 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 can be fit into 225 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 312.0
Deduct 174 from 225 and we're left with 51.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 514 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 514 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 79.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3125.0
Subtracting 435 from 514 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 790 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3125.9
Deduct 783 from 790 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 70 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3125.9
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 700 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3125.908
Subtracting 696 from 700 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3125.908
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3125.90804
Deduct 348 from 400 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 520 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3125.908045
Subtracting 435 from 520 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
850 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3125.9080459
Subtracting 783 from 850 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
87 can be fit into 670 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3125.90804597
If we subtract 609 from 670, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3125.90804597 with a remaining 6.1e-08.
