We divide 187873 by 78
The aim is to understand the frequency of 78 in 187873.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 78, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 78

Advancing to step 2:
78 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 78

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 187 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 156 from 187 to get 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 78

Step 4:
When dividing 318 by 78, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 312 from 318 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 78 fits into 67 0 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240.0
Subtract 0 from 67 to get 67.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 673 / 78

Step 6:
673 divided by 78 is 8 with a remainder of 49.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2408.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 624 from 673.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 490 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2408.6
If we subtract 468 from 490, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 78, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2408.62
Subtract 156 from 220 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
78 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2408.628
If we subtract 624 from 640, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 78, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2408.6282
If we take 156 away from 160, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
40 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2408.6282
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 78, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2408.628205
Deduct 390 from 400 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
78 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2408.6282051
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
220 divided by 78 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2408.62820512
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 156 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2408.62820512 with a remaining 6.4e-08.
