Let's divide 233176 by 87
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 233176.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
87 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 233 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
The number 87 fits into 233 2 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 174 from 233, we get 59.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 591 / 87

Let's proceed to step 4:
591 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 522 from 591 to get 69.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 697 / 87

Let's proceed to step 5:
87 goes into 697 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 268.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 696 from 697.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 16 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2680.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 160 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2680.1
Subtract 87 from 160 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 87 fits into 730 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2680.18
If we take 696 away from 730, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
87 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 79.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2680.183
Subtract 261 from 340 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
87 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2680.1839
Subtract 783 from 790 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
87 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2680.1839
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 700 by 87, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2680.183908
Deduct 696 from 700 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2680.183908
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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 14:
When dividing 400 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2680.18390804
Subtracting 348 from 400 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2680.18390804 and a remainder of 5.2e-08.
