We divide 917477 by 3
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 917477.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 3

Step 2:
If we divide 1 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 17 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 305.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 3

Step 4:
The number 3 fits into 24 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3058.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 3

On to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 7 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30582.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 17 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 305825.0
Deduct 15 from 17 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 305825.6
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:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 305825.66
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.

The final result is 305825.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
