Let's divide 82742 by 2
The aim is to understand the frequency of 2 in 82742.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Step 2:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 2

On to step 3:
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: 413.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 2

On to step 4:
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: 4137.0
If we subtract 14 from 14, we get 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 2

On to step 5:
When dividing 2 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41371.0
Subtract 2 from 2 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 6:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 41371.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41371.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 41371.0 with a remaining 0.0.
