707708 divided by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 707708.

Moving on to step 1:
7 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 42

On to step 2:
70 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 42 from 70.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 287 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 252 from 287.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 357 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 357 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 336 from 357.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 210 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1685.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 210 from 210.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16850.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16850.1
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 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 8:
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: 16850.19
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16850.19
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16850.1904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16850.19047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16850.190476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16850.1904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 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 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16850.19047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16850.19047619 with a remaining 2e-09.
