We divide 271976 by 17
The aim is to understand the frequency of 17 in 271976.

Let's proceed to step 1:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 17

Step 2:
If we divide 27 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 27 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 101 5 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 85 from 101 to get 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 169 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtracting 153 from 169 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 17

On to step 5:
167 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1599.0
If we subtract 153 from 167, we get 14.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 can be fit into 146 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15998.0
Deduct 136 from 146 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15998.5
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15998.58
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15998.588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 15998.588, and the remainder is 0.0004.
