We divide 388474 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 388474.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 388 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 388 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 378 from 388 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 104 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 104 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 92.0
Deduct 84 from 104 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 207 4 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 924.0
Subtracting 168 from 207 leaves us with 39.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 394 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
394 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9249.0
Subtract 378 from 394 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9249.3
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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 8:
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: 9249.38
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9249.38
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9249.3809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9249.38095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9249.380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9249.3809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9249.38095238
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.

The final result is 9249.38095238 with a remainder of 4e-09.
