Let's divide 355916 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 355916.

Step 1:
3 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 355 / 42

Step 3:
355 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 336 from 355 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 199 4 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we subtract 168 from 199, we get 31.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 311 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 311 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 847.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 294 from 311.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 176 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8474.0
Subtract 168 from 176 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.

Step 7:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8474.1
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

Advancing to 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: 8474.19
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 9:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8474.19
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8474.1904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8474.19047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8474.190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8474.1904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8474.19047619
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.

The final result is 8474.19047619 with a remainder of 2e-09.
