We're dividing 978904 by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 978904.

On to step 1:
3 can be fit into 9 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 326.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
9 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3263.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 32630.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 326301.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 326301.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 326301.33
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.

The final outcome is 326301.33, with a leftover of 0.001.
