We divide 52873 by 8
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 52873.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 52 / 8

Going ahead to step 2:
52 divided by 8 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 48 from 52 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 48 by 8, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 66.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 48 from 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 660.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 8

On to step 5:
When dividing 73 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6609.0
If we subtract 72 from 73, we 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.

Step 6:
The number 8 fits into 10 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6609.1
Deduct 8 from 10 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6609.12
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6609.125
If we subtract 40 from 40, 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 9:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6609.125
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6609.125
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.

The final outcome is 6609.125, with a leftover of 0.0.
