859499 ÷ 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 859499.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 85 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 84 from 85.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 19 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 194 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 194 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 204.0
If we subtract 168 from 194, we get 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 269 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2046.0
If we subtract 252 from 269, we get 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 179 4 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20464.0
Deduct 168 from 179 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20464.2
Subtracting 84 from 110 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20464.26
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20464.261
Subtracting 42 from 80 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20464.2619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20464.2619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20464.261904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20464.2619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20464.26190476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20464.26190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
