Let's divide 978254 by 48
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 978254.

Moving on to step 1:
48 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 96 from 97 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
18 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 182 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 203.0
If we subtract 144 from 182, we get 38.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 385 / 48

On to step 5:
If we divide 385 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2038.0
If we subtract 384 from 385, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 48

On to step 6:
If we divide 14 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20380.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20380.2
Subtracting 96 from 140 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 48 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20380.29
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20380.291
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20380.2916
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20380.29166
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 20380.29166 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
