We divide 261444 by 9
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 261444.

Step 1:
The number 9 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 18 from 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 9

On to step 3:
If we divide 81 by 9, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 81 from 81 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 4 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 290.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 44 by 9, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2904.0
Subtract 36 from 44 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 9

On to step 6:
9 can be fit into 84 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29049.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 81 from 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
9 can be fit into 30 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29049.3
If we take 27 away from 30, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 30 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29049.33
Subtract 27 from 30 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The final result is 29049.33 with a remainder of 0.003.
