Let's divide 218506 by 48
The aim is to understand the frequency of 48 in 218506.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 218 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 192 from 218 to get 26.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 265 / 48

On to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 265 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 240 from 265 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 250 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
250 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 455.0
If we take 240 away from 250, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 106 / 48

Step 6:
106 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4552.0
Subtracting 96 from 106 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4552.2
If we take 96 away from 100, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4552.2
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4552.208
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4552.2083
If we subtract 144 from 160, we 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 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4552.20833
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 4552.20833 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
