We look at the division of 742279 by 2 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 742279.

On to step 1:
2 can be fit into 7 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 can be fit into 14 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 2 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 371.0
If we take 2 away from 2, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Step 4:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3711.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37113.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
19 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 371139.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 371139.5
Subtract 10 from 10 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 371139.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 371139.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 371139.5 with a balance of 0.0.
