Let's divide 41588988 by 242
The aim is to understand the frequency of 242 in 41588988.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 242 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 242

On to step 2:
242 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 41, we get 41.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 415 / 242

Let's proceed to step 3:
242 goes into 415 1 times with a remainder of 173.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 242 from 415 to get 173.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 173, then repeat: 1738 / 242

Going ahead to step 4:
1738 divided by 242 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 1694 away from 1738, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 242

Step 5:
The number 242 fits into 448 1 times, leaving a remainder of 206.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we subtract 242 from 448, we get 206.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 206 and continue with: 2069 / 242

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 242 fits into 2069 8 times, leaving a remainder of 133.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1718.0
If we take 1936 away from 2069, we end up with 133.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 133 and continue: 1338 / 242

Moving on to step 7:
The number 242 fits into 1338 5 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17185.0
Deduct 1210 from 1338 and we're left with 128.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 128, then carry on: 1288 / 242

Let's proceed to step 8:
242 can be fit into 1288 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171855.0
Subtracting 1210 from 1288 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
242 goes into 780 3 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171855.3
Subtracting 726 from 780 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 242 fits into 540 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171855.32
Subtracting 484 from 540 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 242, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171855.322
Deduct 484 from 560 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Our division results in 171855.322 with a remaining 0.0076.
