We look at the division of 980231 by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 980231.

Moving on to step 1:
2 goes into 9 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 2

On to step 3:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 490.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
2 can be fit into 2 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4901.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 2

On to step 5:
If we divide 3 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49011.0
If we subtract 2 from 3, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 can be fit into 11 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 490115.0
Subtract 10 from 11 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 490115.5
If we take 10 away from 10, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 490115.5
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.

Step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 490115.5
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 result is 490115.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
