We divide 285401 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 285401.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 285 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 goes into 285 6 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 285, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 334 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 334 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 294 away from 334, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 679.0
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 221 5 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6795.0
Subtract 210 from 221 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6795.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6795.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6795.261
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6795.2619
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.

On to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6795.2619
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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6795.261904
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6795.2619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6795.26190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6795.26190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
