We divide 272776 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 272776.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
272 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 252 from 272 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 207 4 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64.0
Deduct 168 from 207 and we're left with 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 397 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
397 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 649.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 378 from 397.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 196 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6494.0
If we subtract 168 from 196, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6494.6
If we subtract 252 from 280, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6494.66
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 6494.66 with a remainder of 0.028.
