246581 divided by 48 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 246581.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 can be fit into 246 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 240 away from 246, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
65 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 48 from 65 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 48

On to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 178 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 513.0
Deduct 144 from 178 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 341 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 341 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5137.0
Subtracting 336 from 341 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5137.1
If we take 48 away from 50, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5137.1
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
48 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5137.104
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5137.1041
If we subtract 48 from 80, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5137.10416
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5137.104166
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5137.104166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
