Let's divide 46118837 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 46118837.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 46 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 42 from 46.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 41 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 0 from 41.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 411 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
411 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
If we subtract 378 from 411, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 338 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 338 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1098.0
Subtracting 336 from 338 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 28 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10980.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 42

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 283 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 109806.0
Subtracting 252 from 283 leaves us with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 42

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 317 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1098067.0
If we take 294 away from 317, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
42 can be fit into 230 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1098067.5
Deduct 210 from 230 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1098067.54
Deduct 168 from 200 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.

On to step 11:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1098067.547
Deduct 294 from 320 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.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1098067.5476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1098067.54761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1098067.547619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1098067.547619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 16:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1098067.54761904
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.

After the division, we end up with 1098067.54761904 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
