We divide 701842 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 701842.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 goes into 11 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we subtract 9 from 11, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2339.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
14 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23394.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Step 6:
The number 3 fits into 22 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 233947.0
Subtract 21 from 22 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 233947.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 233947.33
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.

Our division results in 233947.33 with a remaining 0.001.
