We divide 503887 by 48
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 503887.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 48

Step 3:
48 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
238 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we take 192 away from 238, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 468 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 468 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1049.0
Deduct 432 from 468 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 48

Step 6:
367 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10497.0
Subtract 336 from 367 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10497.6
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 288 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10497.64
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 192 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10497.645
If we subtract 240 from 280, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10497.6458
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10497.64583
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10497.645833
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10497.645833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
