716988 ÷ 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 716988.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 3

Step 2:
When dividing 11 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 9 from 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
26 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 238.0
Subtracting 24 from 26 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Step 4:
When dividing 29 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2389.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23899.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 18 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 238996.0
If we take 18 away from 18, 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 238996.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 238996.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 238996.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
