We're dividing 843442 by 3 
We want to divide 843442 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 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 (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

Step 2:
24 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
3 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281.0
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
4 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2811.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 goes into 14 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28114.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 22 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281147.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 281147.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281147.33
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.

Our division results in 281147.33 with a remaining 0.001.
