We're dividing 37442679 by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 37442679.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 37 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 374 / 42

Step 3:
374 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 336 from 374 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
384 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 378 from 384.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 62 1 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 891.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 42 from 62.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 206 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8914.0
Deduct 168 from 206 and we're left with 38.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 387 / 42

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 387 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89149.0
Subtracting 378 from 387 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 42

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 891492.0
If we subtract 84 from 99, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 891492.3
Subtracting 126 from 150 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 891492.35
If we subtract 210 from 240, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 891492.357
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 12:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 891492.3571
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 891492.35714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 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 14:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 891492.357142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 891492.3571428
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.

Step 16:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 891492.35714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up 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.

The final result is 891492.35714285 with a remainder of 3e-08.
