We're dividing 746856 by 9 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 746856.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 72 from 74, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 26 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtracting 18 from 26 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 9

Moving on to step 4:
The number 9 fits into 88 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 829.0
If we take 81 away from 88, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 9

Step 5:
If we divide 75 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8298.0
If we take 72 away from 75, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 9

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 36 by 9, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82984.0
Subtract 36 from 36 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82984.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82984.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 82984.0 with a balance of 0.0.
