We look at the division of 259248 by 87 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 259248.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 87 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
25 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 87

Moving on to step 3:
87 can be fit into 259 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 174 from 259 leaves us with 85.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 85 and continue with: 852 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 852 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 783 from 852.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 69, then carry on: 694 / 87

Step 5:
The number 87 fits into 694 7 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 297.0
If we take 609 away from 694, we end up with 85.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 85 and continue: 858 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
858 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2979.0
If we subtract 783 from 858, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 can be fit into 750 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2979.8
Subtracting 696 from 750 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 540 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2979.86
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 522 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
87 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2979.862
If we take 174 away from 180, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2979.862
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
87 can be fit into 600 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2979.86206
If we subtract 522 from 600, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 780 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 84.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2979.862068
Subtract 696 from 780 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 840 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 57.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2979.8620689
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 783 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
570 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2979.86206896
If we take 522 away from 570, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2979.86206896 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
