873872 divided by 27 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 27 in 873872.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 27 fits into 87 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 81 from 87 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 63 / 27

On to step 3:
27 can be fit into 63 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 54 away from 63, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 27

Step 4:
If we divide 98 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323.0
Deduct 81 from 98 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 27

On to step 5:
27 can be fit into 177 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3236.0
If we subtract 162 from 177, we get 15.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 152 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 152 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32365.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 135 from 152.
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 7:
If we divide 170 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32365.6
If we subtract 162 from 170, we get 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 8:
When dividing 80 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32365.62
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
260 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 32365.629
If we take 243 away from 260, we end up with 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 10:
When dividing 170 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32365.6296
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 162 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32365.62962
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 260 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32365.629629
Subtract 243 from 260 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.

On to step 13:
170 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32365.6296296
If we take 162 away from 170, 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 27 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32365.62962962
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 32365.62962962, and the remainder is 2.6e-08.
