879789 divided by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 879789 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 3

Step 2:
3 can be fit into 27 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 27 from 27 to get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 9 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 293.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2932.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29326.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 9 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 293263.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 293263.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 293263.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 293263.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
