971572 ÷ 3 
Our goal is to divide 971572 by 3.

On to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 9 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 11 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 9 from 11.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 25 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3238.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 24 from 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 17 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32385.0
If we subtract 15 from 17, we get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 can be fit into 22 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 323857.0
Subtracting 21 from 22 leaves us with 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 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 323857.3
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.

Step 8:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 323857.33
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.

Our division results in 323857.33 with a remaining 0.001.
