We look at the division of 988318 by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 988318.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Step 3:
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: 494.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4941.0
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 11 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 49415.0
Subtract 10 from 11 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 18 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 494159.0
Subtract 18 from 18 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.

On to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494159.0
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.

On to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 494159.0
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 494159.0 with a balance of 0.0.
