We divide 859982 by 48
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 859982.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 48

Step 2:
48 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 85, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 379 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
379 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 336 away from 379, we end up with 43.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 439 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 439 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 179.0
If we take 432 away from 439, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1791.0
Subtracting 48 from 78 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 302 / 48

Step 6:
When dividing 302 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17916.0
Subtract 288 from 302 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
140 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17916.2
Deduct 96 from 140 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17916.29
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17916.291
Deduct 48 from 80 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17916.2916
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17916.29166
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17916.29166, and the remainder is 3.2e-05.
