We look at the division of 72987067 by 246 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 246 in 72987067.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 246, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 246

Step 2:
246 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 246

Moving on to step 3:
729 divided by 246 is 2 with a remainder of 237.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 492 away from 729, we end up with 237.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 237, then carry on: 2378 / 246

Going ahead to step 4:
246 goes into 2378 9 times with a remainder of 164.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 2214 from 2378 to get 164.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 164, then carry on: 1647 / 246

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 246 fits into 1647 6 times, leaving a remainder of 171.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 296.0
Deduct 1476 from 1647 and we're left with 171.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 171, then carry on: 1710 / 246

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1710 by 246, we get 6 and a remainder of 234.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2966.0
Subtracting 1476 from 1710 leaves us with 234.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 234 and repeat the process: 2346 / 246

Going ahead to step 7:
246 can be fit into 2346 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 132.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29669.0
If we take 2214 away from 2346, we end up with 132.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 132, then carry on: 1327 / 246

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 1327 by 246, we get 5 and a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 296695.0
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 1230 from 1327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 970 by 246, we get 3 with a remainder of 232.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 296695.3
If we subtract 738 from 970, we get 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 246 fits into 2320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 106.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 296695.39
Deduct 2214 from 2320 and we're left with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
246 goes into 1060 4 times with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 296695.394
If we subtract 984 from 1060, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 246 fits into 760 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 296695.3943
Deduct 738 from 760 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 13:
246 can be fit into 220 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 220.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 296695.3943
If we take 0 away from 220, we end up with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
246 can be fit into 2200 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 232.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 296695.394308
If we take 1968 away from 2200, we end up with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 2320 by 246, we get 9 with a remainder of 106.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 296695.3943089
Deduct 2214 from 2320 and we're left with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Step 16:
1060 divided by 246 is 4 with a remainder of 76.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 296695.39430894
If we take 984 away from 1060, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 296695.39430894 and a remainder of 7.6e-08.
