We look at the division of 539464 by 17 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 539464.

On to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 17

Step 2:
17 goes into 53 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 51 from 53 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 29 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 17 from 29 to get 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 17

On to step 4:
17 can be fit into 124 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 317.0
Subtracting 119 from 124 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 17

Step 5:
If we divide 56 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3173.0
Deduct 51 from 56 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
54 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31733.0
Subtract 51 from 54 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31733.1
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.

On to step 8:
17 can be fit into 130 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31733.17
If we subtract 119 from 130, we get 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:
110 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31733.176
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31733.1764
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.

Advancing to step 11:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31733.17647
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 17 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 31733.17647
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31733.1764705
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 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:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31733.17647058
Subtract 136 from 150 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 31733.17647058 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
