874618 ÷ 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 874618.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 27 from 27 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

Step 3:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 16 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2915.0
If we subtract 15 from 16, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 3

Step 5:
3 goes into 11 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29153.0
Subtracting 9 from 11 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 28 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291539.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291539.3
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291539.33
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 291539.33 with a balance of 0.001.
