We're dividing 972368 by 3 
We want to divide 972368 by 3.

Step 1:
3 can be fit into 9 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 12 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
3 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3241.0
If we subtract 3 from 3, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 6 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32412.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 3

On to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324122.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 324122.6
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 324122.66
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 324122.66 with a balance of 0.002.
