212893 divided by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 212893 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
3 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 3

On to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 21 from 21 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 3

Step 3:
3 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 28 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 709.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7096.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
3 can be fit into 13 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70964.0
Subtracting 12 from 13 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70964.3
Subtracting 9 from 10 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 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70964.33
If we subtract 9 from 10, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 70964.33 with a balance of 0.001.
