We divide 204484 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 204484.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 204 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 204 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 168 from 204 leaves us with 36.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 364 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 364 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 336 from 364.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 288 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 486.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 252 from 288.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 364 / 42

Step 6:
364 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4868.0
If we take 336 away from 364, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4868.6
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4868.66
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4868.66 with a balance of 0.028.
