Let's divide 497544 by 3
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 497544.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 3

On to step 2:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 3

Step 4:
3 goes into 25 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1658.0
Deduct 24 from 25 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
14 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16584.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 12 from 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165848.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 165848.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165848.0
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.

The final result is 165848.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
