We divide 446985 by 87
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 446985.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 87

Step 2:
The number 87 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 44 to get 44.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 446 / 87

On to step 3:
When dividing 446 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 435 from 446 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
87 can be fit into 119 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 87 from 119 leaves us with 32.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 328 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
328 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 513.0
If we take 261 away from 328, we end up with 67.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 675 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 675 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 66.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5137.0
Deduct 609 from 675 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 660 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 51.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5137.7
If we take 609 away from 660, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 510 by 87, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5137.75
If we subtract 435 from 510, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 87 fits into 750 8 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5137.758
If we take 696 away from 750, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
87 can be fit into 540 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5137.7586
Deduct 522 from 540 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
87 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5137.75862
If we subtract 174 from 180, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5137.75862
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5137.7586206
If we take 522 away from 600, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
87 can be fit into 780 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5137.75862068
Deduct 696 from 780 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5137.75862068 with a balance of 8.4e-08.
