277978 divided by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 277978.

Step 1:
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: 1.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 19 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1389.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

Step 5:
2 can be fit into 17 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13898.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138989.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, 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.

Step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138989.0
Subtract 0 from 0 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 8:
2 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: 138989.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 138989.0 with a balance of 0.0.
