We're dividing 471969 by 8 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 8 in 471969.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 8

On to step 2:
47 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 40 from 47 to get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
71 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 64 away from 71, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 8

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 79 by 8, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 589.0
Subtract 72 from 79 to get 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
76 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5899.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 72 from 76.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 8

On to step 6:
8 goes into 49 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58996.0
If we subtract 48 from 49, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
8 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58996.1
Subtracting 8 from 10 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 8 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58996.12
Deduct 16 from 20 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58996.125
Subtract 40 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58996.125
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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 11:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58996.125
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 58996.125 and a remainder of 0.0.
