972448 divided by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 972448.

On to step 1:
2 goes into 9 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 goes into 12 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 486.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4862.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48622.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 486224.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 486224.0
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:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 486224.0
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 486224.0 with a balance of 0.0.
