762736 divided by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 762736.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 76 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 76 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 342 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 336 from 342 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 67 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtract 42 from 67 to get 25.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 253 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 253 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1816.0
Deduct 252 from 253 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18160.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18160.3
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18160.38
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18160.38
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18160.3809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18160.38095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18160.380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18160.3809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18160.38095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18160.38095238 and a remainder of 4e-09.
