Let's divide 873106 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 873106 can be divided by 3.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with 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.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 27 from 27 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 3

Step 3:
3 can be fit into 3 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtracting 3 from 3 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2910.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 29103.0
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 3

On to step 6:
When dividing 16 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291035.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 15 from 16.
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 7:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291035.3
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.

Step 8:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 291035.33
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 291035.33 with a balance of 0.001.
