We divide 488853 by 16
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 488853.

Advancing to step 1:
16 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
8 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 305.0
Subtracting 80 from 88 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 85 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3055.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 80 from 85.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
16 goes into 53 3 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 30553.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 48 from 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30553.3
Deduct 48 from 50 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.

On to step 8:
16 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30553.31
If we subtract 16 from 20, 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 9:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30553.312
Subtract 32 from 40 to get 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:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30553.3125
If we take 80 away from 80, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30553.3125
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.

Moving on to step 12:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30553.3125
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.

Our division results in 30553.3125 with a remaining 0.0.
