We look at the division of 401484 by 8 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 401484.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 40 from 40 to get 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
8 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 8

Step 4:
When dividing 14 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 501.0
If we subtract 8 from 14, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 68 by 8, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5018.0
Subtract 64 from 68 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 44 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50185.0
If we subtract 40 from 44, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
8 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50185.5
If we subtract 40 from 40, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50185.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50185.5
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.

The final outcome is 50185.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
