We divide 281259 by 3
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 281259.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
3 goes into 11 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 93.0
If we subtract 9 from 11, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 22 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 937.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, we get 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 can be fit into 15 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9375.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 15 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 can be fit into 9 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 93753.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 93753.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 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 8:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 93753.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 93753.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
