We're dividing 5493490 by 8 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 5493490.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 69 by 8, we get 8 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 64 away from 69, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 8 fits into 53 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 686.0
Subtracting 48 from 53 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 8

Moving on to step 5:
The number 8 fits into 54 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6866.0
If we subtract 48 from 54, we get 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 8

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 69 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68668.0
If we take 64 away from 69, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 8

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 686686.0
If we subtract 48 from 50, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
8 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 686686.2
If we take 16 away from 20, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 686686.25
Deduct 40 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 686686.25
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 11:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 686686.25
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.

The final result is 686686.25 with a remainder of 0.0.
