709984 divided by 48 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 709984.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
70 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 48 from 70.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 229 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 37.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 192 from 229 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
379 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 147.0
If we subtract 336 from 379, we get 43.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 438 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 goes into 438 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1479.0
Subtracting 432 from 438 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14791.0
If we subtract 48 from 64, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14791.3
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14791.33
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.

The final result is 14791.33 with a remainder of 0.016.
