We're dividing 52678327 by 3 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 3 in 52678327.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 3 from 5 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 3

On to step 2:
22 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 21 away from 22, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
16 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 175.0
If we subtract 15 from 16, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Step 4:
17 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1755.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17559.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 13 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 175594.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 12 from 13.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 3

Advancing to step 7:
3 can be fit into 12 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1755944.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 7 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17559442.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17559442.3
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up 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 10:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17559442.33
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.

After the division, we end up with 17559442.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
