We're dividing 284993 by 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 284993.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 1 fits into 2 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 8 by 1, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 1

Going ahead to step 3:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 284.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 1

On to step 4:
The number 1 fits into 9 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2849.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 1

Step 5:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28499.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 3 by 1, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 284993.0
Subtracting 3 from 3 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 284993.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 284993.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 284993.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
