We divide 655546 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 655546.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 42

Step 2:
65 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 65, we get 23.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 235 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 235 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 210 from 235, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 255 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 252 from 255.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 34 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1560.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 346 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15608.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 336 from 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15608.2
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 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:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15608.23
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15608.238
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15608.238
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15608.23809
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15608.238095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15608.2380952
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15608.23809523
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.

Our division results in 15608.23809523 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
