We look at the division of 244852 by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 244852.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Step 2:
When dividing 24 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 816.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 3

Step 5:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8161.0
Subtracting 3 from 5 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 22 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 81617.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81617.3
Subtract 9 from 10 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.

Advancing to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81617.33
Subtract 9 from 10 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.

The final result is 81617.33 with a remainder of 0.001.
