Let's divide 888431 by 8
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 888431.

On to step 1:
8 goes into 8 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
8 goes into 8 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 8

Moving on to step 3:
8 divided by 8 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1110.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 43 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11105.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 40 from 43.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
8 can be fit into 31 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 111053.0
Subtract 24 from 31 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 70 by 8, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 111053.8
Subtracting 64 from 70 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111053.87
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111053.875
Subtract 40 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 10:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111053.875
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111053.875
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 111053.875 with a remaining 0.0.
