496729 ÷ 8 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 496729.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 49 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 can be fit into 16 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 16 from 16 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 8

Moving on to step 4:
8 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 620.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 72 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6209.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 72 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
9 divided by 8 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62091.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
8 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62091.1
Subtract 8 from 10 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62091.12
Deduct 16 from 20 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
8 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62091.125
Deduct 40 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62091.125
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62091.125
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.

After the division, we end up with 62091.125 and a remainder of 0.0.
