24908 ÷ 871 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 871 in 24908.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 871, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 871

Moving on to step 2:
The number 871 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 871

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 249 by 871, we get 0 with a remainder of 249.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 249 and we're left with 249.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 249 and repeat the process: 2490 / 871

On to step 4:
If we divide 2490 by 871, we get 2 and a remainder of 748.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1742 from 2490 to get 748.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 748, then repeat: 7488 / 871

Step 5:
871 can be fit into 7488 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 520.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 6968 from 7488, we get 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
871 goes into 5200 5 times with a remainder of 845.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.5
If we subtract 4355 from 5200, we get 845.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 8450 by 871, we get 9 and a remainder of 611.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.59
If we subtract 7839 from 8450, we get 611.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
871 goes into 6110 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.597
If we subtract 6097 from 6110, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 130 by 871, we get 0 with a remainder of 130.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.597
Subtracting 0 from 130 leaves us with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 871 fits into 1300 1 times, leaving a remainder of 429.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.59701
Subtracting 871 from 1300 leaves us with 429.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
871 goes into 4290 4 times with a remainder of 806.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 28.597014
Deduct 3484 from 4290 and we're left with 806.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8060, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 8060 by 871, we get 9 and a remainder of 221.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.5970149
Deduct 7839 from 8060 and we're left with 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
871 can be fit into 2210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 468.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.59701492
Subtracting 1742 from 2210 leaves us with 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 28.59701492, and the remainder is 4.68e-07.
