We divide 880041 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 880041.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 88 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 88 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 400 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 209.0
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
224 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2095.0
If we subtract 210 from 224, we get 14.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 141 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20953.0
Deduct 126 from 141 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20953.3
If we take 126 away from 150, we end up 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 8:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20953.35
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20953.357
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20953.3571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
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 11:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20953.35714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20953.357142
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20953.3571428
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20953.35714285
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20953.35714285 with a balance of 3e-08.
