We look at the division of 589908 by 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 589908.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 1, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 5 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 2:
1 can be fit into 8 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

Moving on to step 3:
1 goes into 9 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 589.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 1

On to step 4:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5899.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 1

On to step 5:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58990.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 1

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 589908.0
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:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 589908.0
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 589908.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 final result is 589908.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
