We divide 49688 by 2
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 49688.

Step 1:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Step 3:
16 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 248.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 16 from 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

On to step 4:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2484.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 2

On to step 5:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24844.0
Deduct 8 from 8 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.

On to step 6:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24844.0
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.

Step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24844.0
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.

Our division results in 24844.0 with a remaining 0.0.
