598731 divided by 17 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 598731.

On to step 1:
17 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 59 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 51 from 59 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 17

Step 3:
If we divide 88 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 85 from 88 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 17

On to step 4:
If we divide 37 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 352.0
If we take 34 away from 37, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 can be fit into 33 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3521.0
Subtracting 17 from 33 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 161 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35219.0
If we subtract 153 from 161, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
80 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35219.4
If we take 68 away from 80, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35219.47
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
17 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35219.47
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35219.4705
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 35219.47058
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 35219.470588
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 35219.470588, and the remainder is 4e-07.
