We're dividing 979987 by 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 979987.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 1

Advancing to step 2:
The number 1 fits into 7 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtract 7 from 7 to get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

On to step 3:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 979.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9799.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 1

Moving on to step 5:
1 goes into 8 8 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97998.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 1

Step 6:
The number 1 fits into 7 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 979987.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 7 from 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 979987.0
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.

Step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 979987.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 979987.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
