We look at the division of 916711 by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 916711.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 1 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 16 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 305.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 15 from 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 17 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3055.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 21 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30557.0
Subtracting 21 from 21 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 305570.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 305570.3
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 305570.33
Subtract 9 from 10 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.

The final result is 305570.33 with a remainder of 0.001.
