We divide 770489 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 770489.

Step 1:
7 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 42

Step 2:
77 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 77 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 350 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 350 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 350, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 42

On to step 4:
144 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 183.0
Deduct 126 from 144 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 188 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1834.0
Deduct 168 from 188 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 209 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 209 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18344.0
Subtracting 168 from 209 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 410 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18344.9
Deduct 378 from 410 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18344.97
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18344.976
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18344.9761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18344.97619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18344.97619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18344.9761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18344.97619047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18344.97619047 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
