Let's divide 499008 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 499008.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 49, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 42

Step 3:
79 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 79, we get 37.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 370 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 370 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 336 from 370 and we're left with 34.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 340 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1188.0
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11881.0
If we take 42 away from 48, we end up with 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 7:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11881.1
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
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 8:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11881.14
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11881.142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11881.1428
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11881.14285
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11881.142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11881.1428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
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 14:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11881.14285714
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.

The quotient of the division is 11881.14285714, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
