969985 ÷ 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 969985.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 1

Going ahead to step 2:
1 goes into 6 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 96.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 1

Step 3:
If we divide 9 by 1, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 969.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

Moving on to step 4:
1 goes into 9 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9699.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 1

Step 5:
When dividing 8 by 1, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 96998.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 5 by 1, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 969985.0
If we subtract 5 from 5, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 969985.0
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 969985.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

The final result is 969985.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
