Let's divide 279908 by 17
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 279908.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 17

On to step 2:
17 can be fit into 27 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 17 from 27 to get 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 109 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 102 from 109.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 17

On to step 4:
When dividing 79 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164.0
Deduct 68 from 79 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1646.0
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 88 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16465.0
Deduct 85 from 88 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16465.1
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 130 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16465.17
If we take 119 away from 130, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
17 goes into 110 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16465.176
Deduct 102 from 110 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16465.1764
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16465.17647
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 119 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16465.17647
Subtracting 0 from 10 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.

Moving on to step 13:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16465.1764705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16465.17647058
If we subtract 136 from 150, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16465.17647058 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
