Let's divide 283169 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 283169.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 283 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 283 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 252 from 283 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 311 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
Deduct 294 from 311 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 176 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 176 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 674.0
If we take 168 away from 176, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
89 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6742.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 84 from 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6742.1
Subtracting 42 from 50 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.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6742.11
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 6742.11 and a remainder of 0.038.
