35979 divided by 17 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 35979.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
17 goes into 35 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 34 away from 35, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 17

On to step 3:
If we divide 19 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 17 from 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
27 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Deduct 17 from 27 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 109 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2116.0
Subtract 102 from 109 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2116.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2116.41
If we take 17 away from 20, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2116.411
Subtract 17 from 30 to get 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 2116.411, and the remainder is 0.0013.
