We look at the division of 979814 by 17 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 979814.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 97 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 85 from 97.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 129 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 119 from 129 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 17

On to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 108 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 576.0
Subtracting 102 from 108 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 17

On to step 5:
17 can be fit into 61 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5763.0
If we subtract 51 from 61, we get 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
104 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57636.0
If we subtract 102 from 104, we get 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 7:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 57636.1
Subtract 17 from 20 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 8:
When dividing 30 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57636.11
Subtracting 17 from 30 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 57636.11, and the remainder is 0.013.
