17384997 ÷ 9 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 17384997.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 9, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 9 away from 17, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 83 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 81 from 83 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
9 can be fit into 28 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 193.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 14 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1931.0
Subtracting 9 from 14 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 9

Step 6:
The number 9 fits into 59 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19316.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 54 from 59.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 9

Step 7:
59 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 193166.0
Deduct 54 from 59 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 9

On to step 8:
9 goes into 57 6 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1931666.0
If we take 54 away from 57, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 30 by 9, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1931666.3
Deduct 27 from 30 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 9 fits into 30 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1931666.33
If we subtract 27 from 30, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1931666.33 with a balance of 0.003.
