Let's divide 718611 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 718611.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 71 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
298 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 294 away from 298, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 46 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 42 from 46 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1710.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 411 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17109.0
If we subtract 378 from 411, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17109.7
If we subtract 294 from 330, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
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: 17109.78
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17109.785
Subtract 210 from 240 to 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.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17109.7857
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.

On to step 11:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17109.78571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 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 12:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17109.785714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17109.7857142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17109.78571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17109.78571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
