We're dividing 862446 by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 862446.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Step 3:
2 can be fit into 2 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 431.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4312.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43122.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
6 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 431223.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 431223.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 431223.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 431223.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
