873730 divided by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 873730.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 27 away from 27, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 3

Step 3:
3 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
If we take 3 away from 3, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2912.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 13 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29124.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 12 from 13.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291243.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
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:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291243.3
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
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.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 291243.33
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 quotient of the division is 291243.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
