179784 divided by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 179784.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

On to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 17 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 29 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 3

Step 4:
If we divide 27 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 599.0
If we subtract 27 from 27, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5992.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59928.0
If we take 24 away from 24, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59928.0
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:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59928.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 59928.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
