733986 ÷ 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 733986.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
73 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 42 from 73.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 313 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
313 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 313, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 199 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Deduct 168 from 199 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 318 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
318 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1747.0
If we take 294 away from 318, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 246 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 246 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 36.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17475.0
If we take 210 away from 246, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17475.8
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17475.85
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17475.857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17475.8571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17475.85714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17475.857142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17475.8571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17475.85714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 17475.85714285 with a remainder of 3e-08.
