458483 divided by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 458483.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 15 from 15 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 3

On to step 3:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1528.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15282.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 23 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152827.0
Deduct 21 from 23 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152827.6
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.

Moving on to 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: 152827.66
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up 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.

Our division results in 152827.66 with a remaining 0.002.
