We divide 283963 by 87
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 283963.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 283 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 261 from 283 to get 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 229 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 55.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 174 from 229.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 556 / 87

Step 5:
87 goes into 556 6 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 326.0
If we take 522 away from 556, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 343 / 87

On to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 343 3 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3263.0
If we take 261 away from 343, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 820 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3263.9
Deduct 783 from 820 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
370 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3263.94
Deduct 348 from 370 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.942
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 174 from 220.
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 10:
If we divide 460 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3263.9425
If we take 435 away from 460, we end up 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 11:
When dividing 250 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.94252
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 12:
87 can be fit into 760 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3263.942528
If we take 696 away from 760, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3263.9425287
If we subtract 609 from 640, we 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 14:
310 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3263.94252873
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 261 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3263.94252873 with a remaining 4.9e-08.
