We look at the division of 48440726 by 287 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 287 in 48440726.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 287, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 287

On to step 2:
The number 287 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 484 / 287

Going ahead to step 3:
287 can be fit into 484 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 197.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 287 from 484 and we're left with 197.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 197, then carry on: 1974 / 287

On to step 4:
287 can be fit into 1974 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 252.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 1722 from 1974 to get 252.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 252 and repeat the process: 2520 / 287

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 2520 by 287, we get 8 and a remainder of 224.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 224 after subtracting 2296 from 2520.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 224, then repeat: 2247 / 287

Let's proceed to step 6:
287 can be fit into 2247 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 238.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1687.0
Deduct 2009 from 2247 and we're left with 238.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 238 and repeat the process: 2382 / 287

Step 7:
287 can be fit into 2382 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16878.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 2296 from 2382.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 86, then repeat: 866 / 287

Let's proceed to step 8:
866 divided by 287 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168783.0
If we take 861 away from 866, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 287, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168783.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 500 by 287, we get 1 and a remainder of 213.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 168783.01
Subtract 287 from 500 to get 213.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2130, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 2130 by 287, we get 7 with a remainder of 121.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 168783.017
Subtract 2009 from 2130 to get 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 1210 by 287, we get 4 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168783.0174
If we subtract 1148 from 1210, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 620 by 287, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168783.01742
Subtract 574 from 620 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
460 divided by 287 is 1 with a remainder of 173.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 168783.017421
Deduct 287 from 460 and we're left with 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1730, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
287 can be fit into 1730 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 168783.0174216
If we take 1722 away from 1730, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 287 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168783.0174216
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 168783.0174216 and a remainder of 8e-08.
