We're dividing 489493 by 87 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 489493.

Step 1:
87 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 489 / 87

Step 3:
489 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 435 from 489, we get 54.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 544 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 544 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 522 from 544 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
229 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 55.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 562.0
If we take 174 away from 229, we end up with 55.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 553 / 87

Advancing to step 6:
The number 87 fits into 553 6 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5626.0
If we subtract 522 from 553, 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.

Step 7:
87 goes into 310 3 times with a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5626.3
Deduct 261 from 310 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Step 8:
87 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5626.35
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 435 from 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 550 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5626.356
If we take 522 away from 550, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5626.3563
Subtracting 261 from 280 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 87 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5626.35632
Deduct 174 from 190 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
160 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5626.356321
If we subtract 87 from 160, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 730 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5626.3563218
Subtracting 696 from 730 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
340 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5626.35632183
If we subtract 261 from 340, we get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5626.35632183, with a leftover of 7.9e-08.
