We divide 971626 by 8
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 971626.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 8

On to step 2:
8 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 goes into 11 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Deduct 8 from 11 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 8

Step 4:
8 goes into 36 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1214.0
If we take 32 away from 36, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 8

Step 5:
8 goes into 42 5 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12145.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 40 from 42.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 8

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 26 by 8, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 121453.0
Deduct 24 from 26 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
8 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 121453.2
Subtracting 16 from 20 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121453.25
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 9:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121453.25
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.

Moving on to step 10:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121453.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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 quotient of the division is 121453.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
