Let's divide 981500 by 8
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 981500.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 8, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
8 goes into 18 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 8

On to step 3:
8 goes into 21 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 16 from 21.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 8

Step 4:
8 goes into 55 6 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1226.0
If we take 48 away from 55, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 8

Step 5:
8 can be fit into 70 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12268.0
Subtract 64 from 70 to get 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
8 goes into 60 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122687.0
Subtract 56 from 60 to get 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 7:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122687.5
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.

Step 8:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 122687.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 122687.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 122687.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
