We divide 83877 by 3
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 83877.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

On to step 2:
23 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 21 away from 23, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

On to step 3:
When dividing 28 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279.0
If we subtract 27 from 28, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2795.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 27 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 27959.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 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.

Moving on to step 6:
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: 27959.0
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 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27959.0
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.

Our division results in 27959.0 with a remaining 0.0.
