983908 ÷ 17 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 983908.

Step 1:
17 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 17

On to step 2:
17 can be fit into 98 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 85 away from 98, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 133 / 17

On to step 3:
133 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 119 from 133.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 17

On to step 4:
149 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 578.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 136 from 149.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 130 / 17

Step 5:
If we divide 130 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5787.0
Deduct 119 from 130 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
17 goes into 118 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57876.0
If we subtract 102 from 118, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57876.9
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 8:
17 can be fit into 70 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57876.94
Subtract 68 from 70 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57876.941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 57876.9411
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 57876.9411 and a remainder of 0.00013.
