980894 divided by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 980894.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 98, we get 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 140 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 42

On to step 4:
148 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 233.0
Deduct 126 from 148 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 229 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2335.0
Subtract 210 from 229 to get 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 194 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23354.0
Subtract 168 from 194 to 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.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 23354.6
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23354.61
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 9:
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: 23354.619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us 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 10:
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: 23354.619
If we subtract 0 from 20, 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 11:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23354.61904
Subtract 168 from 200 to 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23354.619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 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 13:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23354.6190476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23354.61904761
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.

Our division results in 23354.61904761 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
