We divide 696993 by 9
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 696993.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 9

Step 2:
The number 9 fits into 69 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 63 from 69.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 9

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 66 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtracting 63 from 66 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 39 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 774.0
Subtracting 36 from 39 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
9 goes into 39 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7744.0
If we take 36 away from 39, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 33 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 33 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77443.0
Deduct 27 from 33 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
9 goes into 60 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77443.6
Deduct 54 from 60 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 9, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77443.66
Deduct 54 from 60 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 77443.66, and the remainder is 0.006.
