We divide 87196983 by 172
The aim is to understand the frequency of 172 in 87196983.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 172, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 172

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 87, we get 87.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 871 / 172

Step 3:
871 divided by 172 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 860 from 871 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 172

Let's proceed to step 4:
172 can be fit into 119 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 119.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 119 and we're left with 119.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 119 and continue: 1196 / 172

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1196 by 172, we get 6 with a remainder of 164.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 506.0
Subtracting 1032 from 1196 leaves us with 164.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 164 and repeat the process: 1649 / 172

Let's proceed to step 6:
1649 divided by 172 is 9 with a remainder of 101.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5069.0
If we subtract 1548 from 1649, we get 101.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 101 and continue: 1018 / 172

Going ahead to step 7:
172 goes into 1018 5 times with a remainder of 158.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50695.0
Subtract 860 from 1018 to get 158.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 158 and continue with: 1583 / 172

Advancing to step 8:
172 can be fit into 1583 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 506959.0
If we subtract 1548 from 1583, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 350 by 172, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 506959.2
Subtract 344 from 350 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 172 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 506959.2
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
172 goes into 600 3 times with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 506959.203
Subtracting 516 from 600 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 172 fits into 840 4 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 506959.2034
Subtracting 688 from 840 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 1520 by 172, we get 8 with a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 506959.20348
Subtract 1376 from 1520 to get 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 172 fits into 1440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 506959.203488
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1376 from 1440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 506959.203488 with a balance of 6.4e-06.
