233842 divided by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 233842.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 goes into 23 7 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 21 away from 23, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 23 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 21 from 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 28 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 779.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 14 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7794.0
Deduct 12 from 14 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

Step 6:
22 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77947.0
Deduct 21 from 22 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77947.3
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 77947.33
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 77947.33 with a remaining 0.001.
