We divide 500480 by 2
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 500480.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 250.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2502.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

On to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25024.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 2

On to step 6:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 250240.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 250240.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 250240.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The final outcome is 250240.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
