50381 divided by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 50381.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 50, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
83 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 83, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 418 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtract 378 from 418 to get 40.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 401 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 401 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1199.0
Subtract 378 from 401 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1199.5
Subtracting 210 from 230 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1199.54
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199.547
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1199.5476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1199.54761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199.547619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199.547619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 13:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1199.54761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 1199.54761904, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
