We divide 980636 by 3
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 980636.

On to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 9 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 326.0
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 3

On to step 4:
26 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3268.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 24 from 26.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 23 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32687.0
If we subtract 21 from 23, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
3 can be fit into 26 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 326878.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 24 from 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 326878.6
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 326878.66
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 326878.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
