342655 ÷ 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 342655.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 34 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 342 / 42

Going ahead 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: 8.0
Subtract 336 from 342 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 66 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we subtract 42 from 66, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 245 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 815.0
Subtract 210 from 245 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 355 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 355 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8158.0
Subtract 336 from 355 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8158.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8158.45
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8158.452
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8158.4523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8158.45238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8158.45238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8158.4523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8158.45238095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8158.45238095, and the remainder is 1e-08.
