Let's divide 896017 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 896017.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 89 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 89 to get 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 56 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 42 from 56 to get 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtract 126 from 140 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 141 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2133.0
Subtract 126 from 141 to get 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 157 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21333.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 126 from 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
310 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21333.7
Subtract 294 from 310 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21333.73
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21333.738
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21333.738
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21333.73809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21333.738095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21333.7380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21333.73809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21333.73809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
