38947287 divided by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 38947287.

On to step 1:
2 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 2 from 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

On to step 3:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 194.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 14 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1947.0
Subtract 14 from 14 to get 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19473.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
12 divided by 2 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 194736.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

On to step 7:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1947364.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 2

Moving on to step 8:
7 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19473643.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 19473643.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19473643.5
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19473643.5
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 19473643.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
