We're dividing 278744 by 48 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 278744.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 240 from 278, we get 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 48

Step 4:
48 goes into 387 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 384 from 387 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 48

Step 5:
48 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 580.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 344 / 48

On to step 6:
If we divide 344 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5807.0
If we subtract 336 from 344, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5807.1
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5807.16
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5807.166
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5807.166 with a remaining 0.0032.
