Let's divide 238899 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 238899.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 238 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 210 from 238.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 288 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 252 away from 288, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 369 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
369 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 568.0
If we subtract 336 from 369, we get 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 339 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5688.0
If we take 336 away from 339, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 30 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5688.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5688.07
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5688.071
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5688.0714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5688.07142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5688.071428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5688.0714285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5688.07142857
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5688.07142857 with a balance of 6e-09.
