We look at the division of 272506 by 87 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 272506.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 272 / 87

Step 3:
The number 87 fits into 272 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 261 from 272.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 115 / 87

Step 4:
The number 87 fits into 115 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 87 away from 115, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 313.0
Deduct 261 from 280 and we're left with 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 87

On to step 6:
196 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3132.0
Subtract 174 from 196 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3132.2
If we subtract 174 from 220, we 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.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3132.25
Deduct 435 from 460 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
250 divided by 87 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3132.252
If we take 174 away from 250, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 760 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3132.2528
Deduct 696 from 760 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3132.25287
Subtracting 609 from 640 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
310 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3132.252873
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 261 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 490 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3132.2528735
Deduct 435 from 490 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 550 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3132.25287356
If we subtract 522 from 550, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 3132.25287356 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
