We divide 942446 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 942446.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 94 2 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 94 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 102 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 84 from 102 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 184 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 224.0
If we take 168 away from 184, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 164 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2243.0
If we take 126 away from 164, we end up with 38.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 386 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 386 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22439.0
Subtract 378 from 386 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.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22439.1
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22439.19
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22439.19
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22439.1904
Subtract 168 from 200 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 22439.19047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22439.190476
Subtract 252 from 260 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22439.1904761
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22439.19047619
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 22439.19047619 with a balance of 2e-09.
