887901 divided by 5 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 5 in 887901.

On to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 8 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 5 from 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
5 can be fit into 38 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 35 from 38 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 5

Moving on to step 3:
5 can be fit into 37 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 35 from 37.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 5

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 29 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1775.0
If we take 25 away from 29, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 5

On to step 5:
5 goes into 40 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17758.0
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 5

Advancing to step 6:
5 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 177580.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
5 can be fit into 10 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177580.2
If we take 10 away from 10, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177580.2
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177580.2
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 177580.2 with a balance of 0.0.
