There are 100230 '3's in the first million digits of pi.
There are 70,674 3's in the first million digits of pi. * * * * * There are 100,230 3s and 100,106 9s. Since the decimal representation of pi is essentially random, the number of times any digit appears should be approximately 10% of the total number of digits. So, for a million digits, there should be around 100,000 of any digit so it should have been immediately apparent that the previous answer was extremely unlikely. In fact it was incorrect to a very large degree!

28 3s
To find out how many 3s go into 140, divide 140 by 3. This gives you approximately 46.67. Since we're looking for whole 3s, you can fit 46 complete 3s into 140.
