We're dividing 23442 by 1 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 1 in 23442.

Moving on to step 1:
1 goes into 2 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 1

On to step 2:
When dividing 3 by 1, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

Advancing to step 3:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 234.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 1

Step 4:
The number 1 fits into 4 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2344.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 1

Step 5:
2 divided by 1 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23442.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 23442.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23442.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23442.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
