We divide 548799 by 8
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 548799.

Step 1:
8 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 8

Step 2:
If we divide 54 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 48 from 54, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 68 by 8, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 64 from 68.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 8 fits into 47 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 685.0
If we take 40 away from 47, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
79 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6859.0
Subtract 72 from 79 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 8

On to step 6:
8 goes into 79 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68599.0
If we take 72 away from 79, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
8 can be fit into 70 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68599.8
If we take 64 away from 70, we end up with 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 8:
If we divide 60 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68599.87
Subtract 56 from 60 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68599.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
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:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68599.875
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68599.875
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 68599.875 and a remainder of 0.0.
