We divide 17418923 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 17418923.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 42

On to step 2:
17 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 174 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 168 from 174 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 61 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 42 from 61 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 198 4 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 414.0
Deduct 168 from 198 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 309 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4147.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 294 from 309.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 42

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 152 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41473.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 126 from 152.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 42

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 263 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 414736.0
Deduct 252 from 263 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 414736.2
If we subtract 84 from 110, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 414736.26
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 414736.261
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 414736.2619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 414736.2619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 414736.261904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 414736.2619047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 414736.26190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 414736.26190476 and a remainder of 8e-09.
