427176 ÷ 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 427176.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
3 goes into 11 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1423.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 9 from 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14239.0
If we take 27 away from 27, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 6 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142392.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142392.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 142392.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 142392.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
