554048 divided by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 554048.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 42 from 55.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 134 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 126 from 134, we get 8.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 384 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 384 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1319.0
Deduct 378 from 384 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
68 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13191.0
Deduct 42 from 68 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13191.6
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13191.61
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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13191.619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13191.619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13191.61904
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.

Step 12:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13191.619047
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 13:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13191.6190476
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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13191.61904761
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13191.61904761 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
