Let's divide 842593 by 3
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 842593.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

On to step 2:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 2 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 280.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 25 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2808.0
If we subtract 24 from 25, we get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 3

On to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28086.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 13 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 280864.0
Subtract 12 from 13 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 280864.3
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 280864.33
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 280864.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
