We look at the division of 977472 by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 977472.

On to step 1:
3 can be fit into 9 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

On to step 3:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 325.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 3

On to step 4:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3258.0
If we take 24 away from 24, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32582.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 goes into 12 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 325824.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 325824.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 325824.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

The final outcome is 325824.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
