Let's divide 870432 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 870432.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 27 from 27.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 3

Step 3:
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: 290.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2901.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 3

Step 5:
The number 3 fits into 13 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29014.0
Deduct 12 from 13 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
3 goes into 12 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 290144.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290144.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 290144.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 290144.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
