876987 ÷ 46 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 46 in 876987.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 87 leaves us with 41.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 416 / 46

On to step 3:
If we divide 416 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 414 from 416.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 46

Step 4:
If we divide 29 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 190.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 298 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1906.0
Subtract 276 from 298 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 227 4 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19064.0
Deduct 184 from 227 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 430 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19064.9
Deduct 414 from 430 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19064.93
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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 9:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19064.934
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19064.9347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19064.93478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19064.934782
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19064.9347826
Deduct 276 from 280 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 14:
46 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19064.9347826
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 19064.9347826, with a leftover of 4e-08.
