We're dividing 38487 by 71 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 71 in 38487.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 71

Let's proceed to step 2:
71 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 384 / 71

On to step 3:
71 can be fit into 384 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 355 away from 384, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 298 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 284 from 298 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 71 fits into 147 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 542.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 142 from 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 542.0
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
71 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 542.07
If we take 497 away from 500, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
71 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 542.07
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 71, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 542.0704
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 284 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 160 by 71, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 542.07042
Deduct 142 from 160 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 71 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 542.070422
If we subtract 142 from 180, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final result is 542.070422 with a remainder of 3.8e-06.
