We look at the division of 58979 by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 58979.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 can be fit into 28 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 196.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1965.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
29 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19659.0
If we subtract 27 from 29, 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.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 19659.6
Subtract 18 from 20 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19659.66
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.

Our division results in 19659.66 with a remaining 0.002.
