We look at the division of 989441 by 9 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 989441.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 9, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 9

Step 2:
8 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 9

On to step 3:
9 can be fit into 89 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtracting 81 from 89 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 9

Step 4:
9 can be fit into 84 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1099.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 81 from 84.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 9

On to step 5:
9 goes into 34 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10993.0
If we take 27 away from 34, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 9

On to step 6:
If we divide 71 by 9, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 109937.0
Subtract 63 from 71 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 80 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 109937.8
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left 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:
9 goes into 80 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 109937.88
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 109937.88, with a leftover of 0.008.
