871888 divided by 48 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 871888.

Advancing to step 1:
48 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 48 from 87.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 391 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
391 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 384 away from 391, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtract 48 from 78 to get 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 48

On to step 5:
48 goes into 308 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1816.0
If we take 288 away from 308, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 208 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18164.0
Subtract 192 from 208 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18164.3
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18164.33
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18164.33, with a leftover of 0.016.
