We look at the division of 3088450 by 142 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 142 in 3088450.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 142, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 142

Moving on to step 2:
The number 142 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 142

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 308 by 142, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 284 from 308.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 142

Step 4:
The number 142 fits into 248 1 times, leaving a remainder of 106.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 142 from 248 to get 106.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 106, then carry on: 1064 / 142

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 1064 by 142, we get 7 and a remainder of 70.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217.0
Subtracting 994 from 1064 leaves us with 70.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 705 / 142

On to step 6:
142 can be fit into 705 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 137.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2174.0
The remainder is 137 after subtracting 568 from 705.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 137 and continue with: 1370 / 142

Step 7:
1370 divided by 142 is 9 with a remainder of 92.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21749.0
Deduct 1278 from 1370 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 920 by 142, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21749.6
Subtracting 852 from 920 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 680 by 142, we get 4 and a remainder of 112.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21749.64
Deduct 568 from 680 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
1120 divided by 142 is 7 with a remainder of 126.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21749.647
If we subtract 994 from 1120, we get 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 1260 by 142, we get 8 with a remainder of 124.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21749.6478
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 1136 from 1260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 142 fits into 1240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21749.64788
Subtract 1136 from 1240 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21749.64788 and a remainder of 0.000104.
