We're dividing 42699 by 72 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 72 in 42699.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
72 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 426 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
426 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 66.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 360 from 426 leaves us with 66.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 669 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 goes into 669 9 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 648 from 669 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
72 can be fit into 219 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 593.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 216 from 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
72 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 593.0
If we take 0 away from 30, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 593.04
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
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 8:
120 divided by 72 is 1 with a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 593.041
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 593.0416
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
480 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 593.04166
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 593.04166, and the remainder is 4.8e-05.
