Let's divide 612489 by 5
The aim is to understand the frequency of 5 in 612489.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 goes into 6 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 5 from 6 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 5

Advancing to step 2:
The number 5 fits into 11 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 10 from 11 to get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 5

On to step 3:
If we divide 12 by 5, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we subtract 10 from 12, we get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 5

On to step 4:
5 can be fit into 24 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1224.0
If we take 20 away from 24, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 5

Step 5:
If we divide 48 by 5, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12249.0
Deduct 45 from 48 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 5

On to step 6:
If we divide 39 by 5, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 122497.0
If we take 35 away from 39, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 5, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122497.8
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.

On to step 8:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122497.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122497.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 122497.8, and the remainder is 0.0.
