We look at the division of 989700 by 48 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 989700.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 goes into 9 0 times 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 96 from 98.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 48

Step 3:
If we divide 29 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 297 6 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 206.0
If we subtract 288 from 297, we get 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
90 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2061.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 48 from 90.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 420 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 420 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20618.0
If we subtract 384 from 420, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20618.7
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20618.75
Subtracting 240 from 240 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.

Moving on to step 9:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20618.75
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20618.75
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.

After the division, we end up with 20618.75 and a remainder of 0.0.
