To solve this problem, let's go through each part step-by-step.

### Problem Breakdown
1. **Mortgage Loan Details:**
   - Loan Amount (Principal), $ P = 230,000 $ dollars
   - Interest Rate, $ r = 3.9\% $ annually (or 0.039 as a decimal)
   - Loan Term, $ n = 20 $ years

### Step 1: Calculate Monthly Payment
To calculate the monthly payment $ M $, we use the fixed-rate mortgage formula:

\[
M = P \frac{r(1 + r)^N}{(1 + r)^N - 1}
\]

where:
- $ P $ is the loan amount ($ 230,000 $ dollars),
- $ r $ is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12),
- $ N $ is the total number of payments (months).

1. **Monthly Interest Rate**:
   \[
   r = \frac{3.9\%}{12} = \frac{0.039}{12} \approx 0.00325
   \]

2. **Total Number of Payments**:
   \[
   N = 20 \times 12 = 240
   \]

3. **Plugging into the Formula**:
   Substitute $ P = 230,000 $, $ r = 0.00325 $, and $ N = 240 $ into the formula.

   After calculating this, round the answer to the nearest dollar.

### Step 2: Calculate Total Payment Over 20 Years
The total payment over the loan term is simply:
\[
\text{Total Payment} = M \times 240
\]
where $ M $ is the monthly payment calculated in Step 1.

### Step 3: Calculate Total Interest Paid
The total interest paid is the difference between the total payment over 20 years and the original loan amount:
\[
\text{Total Interest} = \text{Total Payment} - P
\]

### Step 4: Complete the Amortization Table
For each payment (1, 2, and 3), we calculate:
1. **Interest Payment** for each month, based on the remaining balance.
   \[
   \text{Interest Payment} = \text{Remaining Balance} \times \text{Monthly Interest Rate}
   \]
2. **Principal Payment** as the difference between the monthly payment and the interest payment:
   \[
   \text{Principal Payment} = M - \text{Interest Payment}
   \]
3. **New Balance** after subtracting the principal payment from the remaining balance.
