We look at the division of 24101 by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 24101.

On to step 1:
3 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

On to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 1 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 80.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 803.0
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 11 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8033.0
If we take 9 away from 11, 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8033.6
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8033.66
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.

After the division, we end up with 8033.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
