We're dividing 973914 by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 973914.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Step 2:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 13 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, we get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 3

On to step 4:
If we divide 19 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3246.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 11 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 32463.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 9 from 11.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 24 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 324638.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 324638.0
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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324638.0
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.

Our division results in 324638.0 with a remaining 0.0.
