We're dividing 492498 by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 492498.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 19 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 12 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
4 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1641.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 19 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16416.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Step 6:
The number 3 fits into 18 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164166.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we 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.

Step 7:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 164166.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164166.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 164166.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
