Let's divide 212042 by 16
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 212042.

Going ahead to step 1:
16 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 16

On to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 21 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 16 from 21, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 52 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 48 away from 52, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
The number 16 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we take 32 away from 40, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
84 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1325.0
Deduct 80 from 84 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
16 goes into 42 2 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13252.0
Deduct 32 from 42 and we're left 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 7:
16 goes into 100 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13252.6
If we take 96 away from 100, we end up 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.

Step 8:
40 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13252.62
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 32 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13252.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13252.625
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13252.625
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.

The final result is 13252.625 with a remainder of 0.0.
