We look at the division of 212479 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 212479 by 3.

On to step 1:
3 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 21 from 21 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 3

Step 4:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 708.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 7 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7082.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
3 can be fit into 19 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70826.0
Subtract 18 from 19 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70826.3
If we subtract 9 from 10, we 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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70826.33
If we subtract 9 from 10, we 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.

The final outcome is 70826.33, with a leftover of 0.001.
