42056486 divided by 256 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 256 in 42056486.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 256 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 256

Step 2:
256 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 420 / 256

Advancing to step 3:
420 divided by 256 is 1 with a remainder of 164.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 256 from 420 leaves us with 164.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 164 and continue: 1645 / 256

On to step 4:
256 can be fit into 1645 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 109.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 1536 from 1645 and we're left with 109.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 109, then carry on: 1096 / 256

On to step 5:
When dividing 1096 by 256, we get 4 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 1024 away from 1096, we end up with 72.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 724 / 256

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 724 by 256, we get 2 and a remainder of 212.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1642.0
If we subtract 512 from 724, we get 212.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 212, then repeat: 2128 / 256

Step 7:
256 can be fit into 2128 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16428.0
If we take 2048 away from 2128, we end up with 80.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 80, then carry on: 806 / 256

Moving on to step 8:
256 can be fit into 806 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164283.0
Subtracting 768 from 806 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 380 by 256, we get 1 with a remainder of 124.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164283.1
If we subtract 256 from 380, we get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1240 divided by 256 is 4 with a remainder of 216.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164283.14
Subtract 1024 from 1240 to get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 2160 by 256, we get 8 with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164283.148
Subtract 2048 from 2160 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
256 goes into 1120 4 times with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 164283.1484
Subtract 1024 from 1120 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 256 fits into 960 3 times, leaving a remainder of 192.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 164283.14843
Subtracting 768 from 960 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
256 can be fit into 1920 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164283.148437
If we take 1792 away from 1920, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 1280 by 256, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164283.1484375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1280 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
0 divided by 256 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164283.1484375
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 164283.1484375, and the remainder is 0.0.
