Let's divide 285832 by 17
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 285832.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 17 from 28 to get 11.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 115 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
17 goes into 115 6 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 102 from 115.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 17

Step 4:
17 goes into 138 8 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168.0
If we take 136 away from 138, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 17

Step 5:
17 goes into 23 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1681.0
Subtract 17 from 23 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 17

Step 6:
17 can be fit into 62 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16813.0
If we subtract 51 from 62, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
110 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16813.6
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16813.64
If we take 68 away from 80, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16813.647
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 119 from 120.
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 10:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16813.647
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16813.64705
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16813.647058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16813.6470588
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16813.6470588 with a remaining 4e-08.
