We divide 85873 by 48
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 85873.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 85, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 can be fit into 378 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 336 from 378 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 427 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we take 384 away from 427, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 433 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 433 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1789.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 432 from 433.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1789.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
100 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1789.02
If we subtract 96 from 100, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1789.02
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1789.0208
Deduct 384 from 400 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.

Moving on to step 10:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1789.02083
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1789.020833
Deduct 144 from 160 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.

Our division results in 1789.020833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
