Let's divide 587308 by 49
The aim is to understand the frequency of 49 in 587308.

On to step 1:
49 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 49

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 49, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 49 away from 58, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 49

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 97 by 49, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 49 from 97, we get 48.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 483 / 49

Advancing to step 4:
49 can be fit into 483 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 441 from 483.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 420 / 49

Moving on to step 5:
420 divided by 49 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1198.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 49

Step 6:
If we divide 288 by 49, we get 5 and a remainder of 43.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11985.0
Subtract 245 from 288 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 49, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11985.8
Subtracting 392 from 430 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
380 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11985.87
Subtract 343 from 380 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
370 divided by 49 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11985.877
Subtracting 343 from 370 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11985.877, and the remainder is 0.0027.
