COMMENTS
Solo zeros considered divisible by 3. In the first million digits of Pi, the maximum smallest integer divisible by 3 occurs at position 141,826: 472402063960609642994542705915460007. This is, none of its potential predecessors (4,47,472,4724,47240,472402,...) is divisible by 3.
EXAMPLE
Delimit the decimal expansion of Pi into MOD(3)=0 integers at the smallest opportunity. This works out to be: 141 59265 3 589793238 462 6...
