We look at the division of 276501 by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 276501.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 276 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
276 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 252 from 276.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 245 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 245 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 210 from 245 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 350 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 350 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 658.0
If we subtract 336 from 350, we get 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 141 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6583.0
Subtract 126 from 141 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6583.3
Subtracting 126 from 150 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6583.35
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6583.357
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 10:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6583.3571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6583.35714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6583.357142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6583.3571428
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 14:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6583.35714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 6583.35714285, with a leftover of 3e-08.
