We look at the division of 281973 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 281973 by 3.

Step 1:
3 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
28 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
3 can be fit into 11 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 93.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 9 from 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 29 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 939.0
Deduct 27 from 29 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 3

On to step 5:
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: 9399.0
If we subtract 27 from 27, we get 0.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 3

Step 6:
3 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 93991.0
If we take 3 away from 3, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
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: 93991.0
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.

Step 8:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 93991.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

Our division results in 93991.0 with a remaining 0.0.
