We divide 488956 by 28
The aim is to understand the frequency of 28 in 488956.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 28, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 28

Step 2:
The number 28 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 28 from 48 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 28

On to step 3:
28 can be fit into 208 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 196 from 208 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 28

Step 4:
28 can be fit into 129 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 112 from 129 to get 17.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 175 / 28

Advancing to step 5:
28 goes into 175 6 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1746.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 168 from 175.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 28

Step 6:
28 can be fit into 76 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17462.0
Subtracting 56 from 76 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
28 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17462.7
Subtracting 196 from 200 leaves us 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 8:
The number 28 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17462.71
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 28 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
28 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17462.714
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
28 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17462.7142
Subtracting 56 from 80 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 28, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17462.71428
If we take 224 away from 240, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 28, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17462.714285
Deduct 140 from 160 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 28, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17462.7142857
If we subtract 196 from 200, 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.

Advancing to step 14:
28 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17462.71428571
Subtracting 28 from 40 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 17462.71428571 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
