976824 divided by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 976824.

On 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
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 can be fit into 7 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

On to step 3:
3 goes into 16 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 325.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
18 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3256.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 3

On to step 5:
2 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32560.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

On to step 6:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 325608.0
If we take 24 away from 24, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 325608.0
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.

Step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 325608.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 325608.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
