708987 ÷ 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 708987.

On to step 1:
1 goes into 7 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 7 away from 7, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Moving on to step 3:
The number 1 fits into 8 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 708.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

On to step 4:
The number 1 fits into 9 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7089.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 1

Step 5:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70898.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

Step 6:
When dividing 7 by 1, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 708987.0
If we take 7 away from 7, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 708987.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 708987.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 708987.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
