Let's divide 697466 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 697466.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
69 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 69, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 277 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 277 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 252 away from 277, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 254 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 166.0
If we take 252 away from 254, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1660.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 266 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16606.0
Subtract 252 from 266 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
140 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16606.3
Subtracting 126 from 140 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 140 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16606.33
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 126 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16606.33, and the remainder is 0.014.
