Let's divide 278849 by 51
The aim is to understand the frequency of 51 in 278849.

Step 1:
2 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 51

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 51 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 51

Let's proceed to step 3:
278 divided by 51 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 255 from 278.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 51

On to step 4:
51 goes into 238 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 204 from 238.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 51

Going ahead to step 5:
51 goes into 344 6 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 546.0
If we take 306 away from 344, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 389 / 51

Step 6:
389 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5467.0
Subtracting 357 from 389 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
51 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5467.6
Subtracting 306 from 320 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
51 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5467.62
If we take 102 away from 140, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
380 divided by 51 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5467.627
If we take 357 away from 380, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 230 by 51, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5467.6274
Deduct 204 from 230 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
51 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5467.62745
Deduct 255 from 260 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 50 by 51, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5467.62745
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
51 goes into 500 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5467.6274509
If we subtract 459 from 500, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
51 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5467.62745098
If we take 408 away from 410, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5467.62745098 and a remainder of 2e-09.
