281642 divided by 9 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 281642.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 11 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 9 away from 11, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 9

On to step 4:
The number 9 fits into 26 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 312.0
Deduct 18 from 26 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 9

Step 5:
84 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3129.0
If we subtract 81 from 84, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 9

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 32 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31293.0
If we take 27 away from 32, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31293.5
Subtracting 45 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31293.55
Deduct 45 from 50 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 31293.55 and a remainder of 0.005.
