We divide 988248 by 9
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 988248.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 9

Advancing to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 88 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtract 81 from 88 to get 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
72 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1098.0
If we subtract 72 from 72, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 9

On to step 5:
The number 9 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10980.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
48 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 109805.0
Subtract 45 from 48 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 30 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 109805.3
Subtract 27 from 30 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.

Moving on to step 8:
30 divided by 9 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 109805.33
Subtracting 27 from 30 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 109805.33 with a balance of 0.003.
