We're dividing 996384 by 7 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 7 in 996384.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 7 from 9 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 7

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 7, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 28 from 29 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 7

Let's proceed to step 3:
7 can be fit into 16 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Deduct 14 from 16 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 7

On to step 4:
7 can be fit into 23 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1423.0
Subtracting 21 from 23 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 7

Let's proceed to step 5:
7 goes into 28 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14234.0
Subtracting 28 from 28 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 7

Advancing to step 6:
7 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142340.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 divided by 7 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142340.5
If we take 35 away from 40, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
7 can be fit into 50 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142340.57
Deduct 49 from 50 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
7 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142340.571
Subtracting 7 from 10 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 7, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142340.5714
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up with 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 11:
If we divide 20 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142340.57142
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 14 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
60 divided by 7 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142340.571428
Deduct 56 from 60 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 7, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142340.5714285
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
50 divided by 7 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142340.57142857
If we subtract 49 from 50, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 142340.57142857 and a remainder of 1e-09.
