We look at the division of 387240 by 47 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 47 in 387240.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 38 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 387 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 11.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 376 from 387 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 112 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 can be fit into 112 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 94 from 112, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 47

On to step 5:
184 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 823.0
Subtracting 141 from 184 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 430 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 goes into 430 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8239.0
If we take 423 away from 430, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
47 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8239.1
Subtract 47 from 70 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8239.14
Deduct 188 from 230 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 goes into 420 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8239.148
Deduct 376 from 420 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
47 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8239.1489
Subtract 423 from 440 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
47 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8239.14893
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 141 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 290 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8239.148936
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 282 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
80 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8239.1489361
Deduct 47 from 80 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 330 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8239.14893617
Subtract 329 from 330 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8239.14893617, with a leftover of 1e-09.
