984440 divided by 8 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 984440.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 8, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
8 goes into 18 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 8

Moving on to step 3:
8 goes into 24 3 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 8

Moving on to step 4:
8 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1230.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 8

On to step 5:
8 goes into 44 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12305.0
If we subtract 40 from 44, we get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 8

Moving on to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 123055.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
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:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 123055.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123055.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 123055.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
