We're dividing 16871 by 28 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 28 in 16871.

Let's proceed to step 1:
28 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 28

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 28, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 28

Moving on to step 3:
The number 28 fits into 168 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 168 from 168.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 28

Going ahead to step 4:
7 divided by 28 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 28

Going ahead to step 5:
28 goes into 71 2 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 602.0
Subtracting 56 from 71 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
28 goes into 150 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 602.5
Subtracting 140 from 150 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 28, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 602.53
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
The number 28 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 602.535
Deduct 140 from 160 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
28 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 602.5357
Deduct 196 from 200 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
28 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 602.53571
If we take 28 away from 40, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 28, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 602.535714
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
80 divided by 28 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 602.5357142
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
240 divided by 28 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 602.53571428
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 602.53571428, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
