We look at the division of 52987774 by 499 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 499 in 52987774.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 499, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 499

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 499, we get 0 and a remainder of 52.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 52, then carry on: 529 / 499

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 529 by 499, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 499 from 529 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 499

Going ahead to step 4:
308 divided by 499 is 0 with a remainder of 308.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 308, we get 308.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 308, then repeat: 3087 / 499

Advancing to step 5:
The number 499 fits into 3087 6 times, leaving a remainder of 93.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
If we take 2994 away from 3087, we end up with 93.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 93, then repeat: 937 / 499

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 937 by 499, we get 1 and a remainder of 438.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1061.0
If we take 499 away from 937, we end up with 438.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 438 and continue: 4387 / 499

On to step 7:
499 goes into 4387 8 times with a remainder of 395.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10618.0
The remainder is 395 after subtracting 3992 from 4387.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 395, then carry on: 3954 / 499

On to step 8:
The number 499 fits into 3954 7 times, leaving a remainder of 461.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106187.0
The remainder is 461 after subtracting 3493 from 3954.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 499 fits into 4610 9 times, leaving a remainder of 119.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106187.9
Subtracting 4491 from 4610 leaves us with 119.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1190, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 499 fits into 1190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 192.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106187.92
If we take 998 away from 1190, we end up with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
499 goes into 1920 3 times with a remainder of 423.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106187.923
The remainder is 423 after subtracting 1497 from 1920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 499 fits into 4230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 238.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 106187.9238
Subtracting 3992 from 4230 leaves us with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 2380 by 499, we get 4 and a remainder of 384.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 106187.92384
Deduct 1996 from 2380 and we're left with 384.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3840, and continue the process.

Step 14:
499 can be fit into 3840 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 347.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106187.923847
If we subtract 3493 from 3840, we get 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 3470 by 499, we get 6 and a remainder of 476.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106187.9238476
Deduct 2994 from 3470 and we're left with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 4760 by 499, we get 9 with a remainder of 269.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106187.92384769
Subtracting 4491 from 4760 leaves us with 269.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2690, and continue the process.

The final result is 106187.92384769 with a remainder of 2.69e-07.
