We divide 589974 by 48
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 589974.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 58 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 48

On to step 3:
48 goes into 109 2 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 96 from 109, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 139 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 43.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtracting 96 from 139 leaves us with 43.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 437 / 48

Step 5:
48 can be fit into 437 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1229.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 432 from 437.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 48

Step 6:
48 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12291.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12291.1
Subtract 48 from 60 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
48 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12291.12
Subtract 96 from 120 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12291.125
If we take 240 away from 240, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12291.125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12291.125
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12291.125 and a remainder of 0.0.
