We divide 42236 by 24
The aim is to understand the frequency of 24 in 42236.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 24, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
24 goes into 42 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 24 from 42 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 182 / 24

Advancing to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 182 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 168 from 182 to get 14.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 143 / 24

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 143 by 24, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 175.0
If we take 120 away from 143, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 236 / 24

Moving on to step 5:
24 can be fit into 236 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1759.0
Deduct 216 from 236 and we're left with 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 6:
The number 24 fits into 200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1759.8
Subtract 192 from 200 to get 8.
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 7:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1759.83
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
80 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1759.833
Subtracting 72 from 80 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.

The quotient of the division is 1759.833, and the remainder is 0.0008.
