We look at the division of 499693 by 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 499693.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 49 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 42 from 79 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 376 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
376 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Subtract 336 from 376 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 409 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 31.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1189.0
Subtract 378 from 409 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 313 / 42

On to step 6:
313 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11897.0
Subtract 294 from 313 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
190 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11897.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11897.45
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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 9:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11897.452
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11897.4523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11897.45238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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 12:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11897.45238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11897.4523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11897.45238095
Deduct 210 from 220 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.

After the division, we end up with 11897.45238095 and a remainder of 1e-08.
