Let's divide 972758 by 2
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 972758.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 2

Step 2:
If we divide 17 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
2 can be fit into 12 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 2

On to step 4:
7 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4863.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 2

Step 5:
2 goes into 15 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48637.0
Subtract 14 from 15 to get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Step 6:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486379.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 486379.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 486379.0
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.

The final outcome is 486379.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
