Let's divide 288617 by 87
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 288617.

Step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 87

On to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 288 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 261 from 288 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 276 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
87 can be fit into 276 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 261 from 276.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 goes into 151 1 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 331.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 87 from 151.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 647 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
647 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3317.0
Subtract 609 from 647 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3317.4
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3317.43
Deduct 261 from 320 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3317.436
Subtracting 522 from 590 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
680 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3317.4367
Deduct 609 from 680 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 710 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3317.43678
If we take 696 away from 710, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3317.436781
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 87 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 530 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3317.4367816
If we take 522 away from 530, 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.

Step 14:
The number 87 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3317.4367816
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3317.4367816 with a balance of 8e-08.
