Let's divide 1697 by 88
The aim is to understand the frequency of 88 in 1697.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 88

On to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 169 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 88 away from 169, we end up with 81.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 81, then carry on: 817 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 817 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 792 from 817.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 250 2 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.2
Deduct 176 from 250 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 740 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.28
Deduct 704 from 740 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
88 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 19.284
If we subtract 352 from 360, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19.284
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 800 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.28409
Deduct 792 from 800 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 88 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.28409
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.2840909
If we subtract 792 from 800, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.2840909
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 19.2840909 and a remainder of 8e-08.
