Let's divide 230989 by 8
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 230989.

Step 1:
2 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 8

On to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 16 from 23, we get 7.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 70 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 70 by 8, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 64 from 70 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 8, we get 8 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288.0
Subtracting 64 from 69 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
8 can be fit into 58 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2887.0
If we subtract 56 from 58, we get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 8

On to step 6:
8 can be fit into 29 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28873.0
If we take 24 away from 29, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 8, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28873.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 48 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
20 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28873.62
Subtract 16 from 20 to 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:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28873.625
Deduct 40 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28873.625
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.

Advancing to step 11:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 28873.625
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 28873.625 with a balance of 0.0.
