We divide 762899 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 762899.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
76 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 76 to get 34.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 342 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 342 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 342, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 42 away from 68, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
269 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1816.0
Deduct 252 from 269 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 179 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18164.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 168 from 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18164.2
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 84 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18164.26
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18164.261
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 10:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18164.2619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18164.2619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18164.261904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18164.2619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
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 14:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18164.26190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18164.26190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
