We look at the division of 842177 by 48 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 842177.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 48 from 84.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 362 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 362 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 336 from 362 to get 26.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 261 / 48

Step 4:
261 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 175.0
If we subtract 240 from 261, we get 21.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 217 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 217 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1754.0
Subtract 192 from 217 to get 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 257 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17545.0
If we take 240 away from 257, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 170 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17545.3
Subtract 144 from 170 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17545.35
If we subtract 240 from 260, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17545.354
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17545.3541
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17545.35416
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
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 12:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17545.354166
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 17545.354166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
