We're dividing 196984 by 4 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 4 in 196984.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 16 from 19, we get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 4

On to step 3:
36 divided by 4 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 36 from 36 to get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

Step 4:
When dividing 9 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 492.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
18 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4924.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 16 from 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 4

Step 6:
4 goes into 24 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49246.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49246.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49246.0
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.

The final outcome is 49246.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
