We divide 788542 by 1
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 788542.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 1, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 7 away from 7, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Step 2:
The number 1 fits into 8 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 788.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
5 divided by 1 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7885.0
Deduct 5 from 5 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 1

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 4 by 1, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78854.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 1

On to step 6:
1 goes into 2 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 788542.0
If we take 2 away from 2, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 788542.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 788542.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 788542.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
