We divide 588359 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 588359.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 58 to get 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 168 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 168 from 168.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1400.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 359 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 359 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 23.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14008.0
Subtracting 336 from 359 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
230 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14008.5
If we subtract 210 from 230, we get 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 8:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14008.54
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14008.547
If we subtract 294 from 320, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14008.5476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
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:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14008.54761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14008.547619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14008.547619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14008.54761904
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.

The quotient of the division is 14008.54761904, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
