We're dividing 282451 by 87 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 87 in 282451.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 87

Step 2:
87 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
282 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 261 from 282.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 214 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 214 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 174 from 214 and we're left with 40.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 405 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 405 4 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 324.0
Subtract 348 from 405 to get 57.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 571 / 87

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 571 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3246.0
Deduct 522 from 571 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 490 by 87, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3246.5
Deduct 435 from 490 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 can be fit into 550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3246.56
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 522 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 87 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3246.563
Subtract 261 from 280 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 87 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3246.5632
Deduct 174 from 190 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3246.56321
Subtracting 87 from 160 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
87 goes into 730 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3246.563218
If we subtract 696 from 730, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3246.5632183
If we subtract 261 from 340, we 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 14:
87 goes into 790 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3246.56321839
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.

After the division, we end up with 3246.56321839 and a remainder of 7e-09.
