238846 ÷ 9 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 238846.

Step 1:
9 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 9

On to step 2:
9 can be fit into 23 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 18 from 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 58 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 54 from 58.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 9

Step 4:
When dividing 48 by 9, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 265.0
If we take 45 away from 48, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 9

Step 5:
The number 9 fits into 34 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2653.0
Deduct 27 from 34 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
9 goes into 76 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26538.0
Deduct 72 from 76 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 9, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26538.4
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
40 divided by 9 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26538.44
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 26538.44 with a remaining 0.004.
