471516 divided by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 471516.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 47 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 47 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 42 from 51.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 95 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 95 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we take 84 away from 95, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 111 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1122.0
Subtract 84 from 111 to get 27.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 276 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 276 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11226.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 252 from 276.
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 7:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11226.5
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11226.57
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11226.571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on 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: 11226.5714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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.

Step 11:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11226.57142
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11226.571428
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.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11226.5714285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11226.57142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 11226.57142857 and a remainder of 6e-09.
