We divide 985915 by 48
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 985915.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 96 from 98, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
25 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 48

Step 4:
48 can be fit into 259 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 205.0
Subtracting 240 from 259 leaves us with 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
191 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2053.0
If we subtract 144 from 191, we get 47.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 475 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20539.0
If we take 432 away from 475, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20539.8
Subtracting 384 from 430 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20539.89
Deduct 432 from 460 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20539.895
Deduct 240 from 280 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20539.8958
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20539.89583
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20539.895833
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 20539.895833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
