We divide 689748 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 689748.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 68, we get 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 269 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 252 from 269 to get 17.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 177 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 177 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtract 168 from 177 to get 9.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 94 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 94 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1642.0
Subtracting 84 from 94 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 108 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16422.0
If we take 84 away from 108, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 16422.5
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16422.57
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16422.571
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16422.5714
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16422.57142
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.

Step 12:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16422.571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 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.

Moving on to step 13:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16422.5714285
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.

Advancing to step 14:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 16422.57142857
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.

The quotient of the division is 16422.57142857, and the remainder is 6e-09.
