596046 ÷ 4 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 4 in 596046.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
4 goes into 19 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 16 from 19, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 4

Step 3:
When dividing 36 by 4, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 149.0
If we subtract 36 from 36, we get 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1490.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 4

On to step 5:
If we divide 4 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14901.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 4

Step 6:
6 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 149011.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 4 from 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
20 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149011.5
Deduct 20 from 20 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.

Advancing to step 8:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149011.5
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 149011.5
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.

The quotient of the division is 149011.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
