We're dividing 462496 by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 462496.

Step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 46 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 46, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 42 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 42 from 42 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 42

Step 4:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 110.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1101.0
Subtract 42 from 49 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 76 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11011.0
Subtract 42 from 76 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11011.8
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11011.8
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11011.809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11011.8095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11011.80952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11011.809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11011.8095238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11011.8095238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11011.8095238, and the remainder is 4e-08.
