We're dividing 479748 by 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 479748.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 1, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

Let's proceed to step 2:
1 goes into 7 7 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 7 from 7 to get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

On to step 3:
9 divided by 1 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

On to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 1, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4797.0
If we take 7 away from 7, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Step 5:
1 goes into 4 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47974.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 1

Moving on to step 6:
The number 1 fits into 8 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479748.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479748.0
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 8:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 479748.0
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

The quotient of the division is 479748.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
