Let's divide 53738 by 87
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 53738.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 87

On to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 537 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 537 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 522 from 537 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 153 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
153 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 87 from 153, we get 66.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 668 / 87

Step 5:
When dividing 668 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 617.0
If we subtract 609 from 668, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 6:
87 goes into 590 6 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 617.6
Deduct 522 from 590 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.67
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.

Advancing to step 8:
87 goes into 710 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 617.678
Subtracting 696 from 710 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
87 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 617.6781
Deduct 87 from 140 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 530 by 87, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 617.67816
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 522 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 617.67816
Subtract 0 from 80 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 87 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 617.6781609
If we subtract 783 from 800, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 can be fit into 170 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 83.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 617.67816091
If we take 87 away from 170, we end up with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 617.67816091, and the remainder is 8.3e-08.
