The Frobenius number \(F(a)\) of the relatively prime \(n\)-tuple \(a=(a_1,\dots,a_n)\) is defined as the largest integer which is not representable as a positive linear combination of \(a_i,\dots,a_n.\) In this paper the existence of the limiting distribution for the normalized Frobenius number of three arguments is proved. The proof has been obtained using ergodic theory. Also several results on statistical properties of continued fractions are proved. The proofs are based on the method, which was developed in earlier papers by \textit{A. V. Ustinov} [St. Petersbg. Math. J. 20, No. 5, 813--836 (2009); translation from Algebra Anal. 20, No. 5, 186--216 (2008; Zbl 1206.11040) and J. Math. Sci., New York 137, No. 2, 4722--4738 (2006); translation from Zap. Nauchn. Semin. POMI 322, 186--211 (2005; Zbl 1072.11060)].
