Let's divide 287831 by 56
The aim is to understand the frequency of 56 in 287831.

Step 1:
The number 56 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 56

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 56, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 56

On to step 3:
When dividing 287 by 56, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 280 away from 287, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 56

Moving on to step 4:
The number 56 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 56 from 78 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 56

On to step 5:
When dividing 223 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 55.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 513.0
If we subtract 168 from 223, we get 55.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 55, then repeat: 551 / 56

Step 6:
56 can be fit into 551 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5139.0
If we subtract 504 from 551, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 7:
56 can be fit into 470 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5139.8
Subtract 448 from 470 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
56 goes into 220 3 times with a remainder of 52.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5139.83
Deduct 168 from 220 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 56, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5139.839
If we subtract 504 from 520, 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5139.8392
Subtract 112 from 160 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 480 by 56, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5139.83928
If we subtract 448 from 480, 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.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5139.839285
If we subtract 280 from 320, we 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.

Step 13:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5139.8392857
Subtract 392 from 400 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
80 divided by 56 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5139.83928571
Deduct 56 from 80 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5139.83928571, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
