48479 ÷ 42 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 48479.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 48 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 42

Step 3:
64 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 64, we get 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 227 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtract 210 from 227 to get 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 179 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1154.0
Deduct 168 from 179 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1154.2
Deduct 84 from 110 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1154.26
Subtract 252 from 260 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1154.261
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1154.2619
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1154.2619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1154.261904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1154.2619047
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.

Step 13:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1154.26190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
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 1154.26190476, and the remainder is 8e-09.
