We look at the division of 49844 by 40 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 40 in 49844.

Moving on to step 1:
40 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 40

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 40 away from 49, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 40

Step 3:
When dividing 98 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 80 from 98 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 40

Step 4:
If we divide 184 by 40, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 160 from 184.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 244 / 40

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 244 by 40, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1246.0
If we subtract 240 from 244, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 40 by 40, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1246.1
Subtracting 40 from 40 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 40 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1246.1
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.

Step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1246.1
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 final outcome is 1246.1, with a leftover of 0.0.
