696857 divided by 7 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 7 in 696857.

Step 1:
When dividing 6 by 7, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 7

Moving on to step 2:
7 goes into 69 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 63 from 69 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 7

Moving on to step 3:
The number 7 fits into 66 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 99.0
Deduct 63 from 66 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 7

Step 4:
7 goes into 38 5 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 995.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 35 from 38.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 7

Going ahead to step 5:
7 goes into 35 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9955.0
If we subtract 35 from 35, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 7

On to step 6:
The number 7 fits into 7 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 99551.0
Subtract 7 from 7 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 7 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 99551.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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:
7 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 99551.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 99551.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
