Let's divide 389862 by 3
We want to divide 389862 by 3.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 29 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1299.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 16 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12995.0
Subtracting 15 from 16 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 12 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129954.0
If we take 12 away from 12, 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.

On to step 7:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129954.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 129954.0
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.

Our division results in 129954.0 with a remaining 0.0.
