Let's divide 86542187 by 988
The aim is to understand the frequency of 988 in 86542187.

On to step 1:
988 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 988

Step 2:
The number 988 fits into 86 0 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 86 and we're left with 86.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 865 / 988

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 865 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 865.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 865 and we're left with 865.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 865 and repeat the process: 8654 / 988

Step 4:
If we divide 8654 by 988, we get 8 and a remainder of 750.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 7904 from 8654 and we're left with 750.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 750, then repeat: 7502 / 988

Moving on to step 5:
988 can be fit into 7502 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 586.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
The remainder is 586 after subtracting 6916 from 7502.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 586, then carry on: 5861 / 988

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 5861 by 988, we get 5 with a remainder of 921.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 875.0
If we take 4940 away from 5861, we end up with 921.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 921 and continue with: 9218 / 988

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 9218 by 988, we get 9 and a remainder of 326.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8759.0
Subtract 8892 from 9218 to get 326.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 326, then repeat: 3267 / 988

Step 8:
988 goes into 3267 3 times with a remainder of 303.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 87593.0
The remainder is 303 after subtracting 2964 from 3267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3030, and continue the process.

Step 9:
988 goes into 3030 3 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87593.3
If we subtract 2964 from 3030, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
988 goes into 660 0 times with a remainder of 660.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87593.3
If we subtract 0 from 660, we get 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 6600 by 988, we get 6 with a remainder of 672.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 87593.306
If we subtract 5928 from 6600, we get 672.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
6720 divided by 988 is 6 with a remainder of 792.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87593.3066
If we subtract 5928 from 6720, we get 792.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7920, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 87593.3066, and the remainder is 0.00792.
