We divide 488996 by 36
The aim is to understand the frequency of 36 in 488996.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 36, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 36 from 48 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 36

Advancing to step 3:
36 goes into 128 3 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 108 from 128, we get 20.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 209 / 36

On to step 4:
When dividing 209 by 36, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 135.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 180 from 209.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 36

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 299 by 36, we get 8 and a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1358.0
Subtracting 288 from 299 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 36

Step 6:
When dividing 116 by 36, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13583.0
Subtracting 108 from 116 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 36 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13583.2
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
36 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13583.22
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 13583.22 and a remainder of 0.008.
