We divide 872644 by 3
We want to divide 872644 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 27 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 27 from 27 to get 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 3

Step 3:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 290.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 can be fit into 26 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2908.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29088.0
If we take 24 away from 24, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

On to step 6:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 290881.0
Deduct 3 from 4 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290881.3
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 290881.33
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 290881.33, with a leftover of 0.001.
