We divide 732461 by 3
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 732461.

Step 1:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 13 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 12 away from 13, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 3

On to step 3:
3 can be fit into 12 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 244.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

On to step 4:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2441.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
16 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24415.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

On to step 6:
3 can be fit into 11 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 244153.0
Deduct 9 from 11 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 244153.6
Deduct 18 from 20 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 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 244153.66
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 quotient of the division is 244153.66, and the remainder is 0.002.
