122844 divided by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 122844.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 12 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 409.0
Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 14 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4094.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 24 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40948.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 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.

Step 7:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40948.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40948.0
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 outcome is 40948.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
