We look at the division of 38993709 by 17 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 38993709.

Moving on to step 1:
3 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 34 from 38 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 49 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 34 from 49 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 goes into 159 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 229.0
If we subtract 153 from 159, we get 6.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 17

On to step 5:
17 goes into 63 3 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2293.0
Subtracting 51 from 63 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 127 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 22937.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 119 from 127.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 80 / 17

On to step 7:
80 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 229374.0
Deduct 68 from 80 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 17

On to step 8:
When dividing 129 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2293747.0
Subtract 119 from 129 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2293747.5
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2293747.58
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.

Step 11:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2293747.588
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2293747.588 with a balance of 0.0004.
