Let's divide 62872 by 2
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 62872.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 2

Step 2:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 314.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 7 by 2, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3143.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
12 divided by 2 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31436.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, 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.

On to step 6:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31436.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31436.0
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

The final result is 31436.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
