We look at the division of 98842 by 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 98842.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 1

Going ahead to step 2:
1 can be fit into 8 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 3:
1 goes into 8 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 988.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 1

On to step 4:
The number 1 fits into 4 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9884.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 1

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 1 fits into 2 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 98842.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 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.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98842.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98842.0
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.

The final result is 98842.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
