Let's divide 864537 by 3
Our goal is to divide 864537 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 3

On to step 2:
3 goes into 26 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 24 from 26 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
24 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 288.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2881.0
Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

On to step 5:
23 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 28817.0
If we subtract 21 from 23, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

On to step 6:
If we divide 27 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 288179.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288179.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 288179.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

The final result is 288179.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
