462715 ÷ 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 462715.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 42 from 46.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 42, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 110.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1101.0
Subtract 42 from 71 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 295 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 295 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11017.0
Subtract 294 from 295 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11017.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11017.02
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11017.023
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11017.0238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11017.0238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11017.023809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11017.0238095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11017.02380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11017.02380952, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
