We divide 42980749 by 118
The aim is to understand the frequency of 118 in 42980749.

Moving on to step 1:
118 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 118

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 118, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 118

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 429 by 118, we get 3 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 354 away from 429, we end up with 75.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 758 / 118

On to step 4:
118 goes into 758 6 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 708 from 758, we get 50.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 500 / 118

Moving on to step 5:
The number 118 fits into 500 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 364.0
Subtract 472 from 500 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 118

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 118 fits into 287 2 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3642.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 236 from 287.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 514 / 118

Let's proceed to step 7:
118 goes into 514 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 36424.0
If we subtract 472 from 514, we get 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 118

Going ahead to step 8:
429 divided by 118 is 3 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 364243.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 354 from 429.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 118 fits into 750 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 364243.6
Subtract 708 from 750 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
118 can be fit into 420 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 364243.63
If we subtract 354 from 420, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
118 goes into 660 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 364243.635
If we take 590 away from 660, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
118 goes into 700 5 times with a remainder of 110.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 364243.6355
If we subtract 590 from 700, we get 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 364243.6355 and a remainder of 0.0011.
