971230 divided by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 971230.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 3

Step 2:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 3

On to step 3:
3 goes into 11 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 323.0
If we subtract 9 from 11, we get 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 3

On to step 4:
If we divide 22 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3237.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 21 from 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 13 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32374.0
If we take 12 away from 13, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 3

On to step 6:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323743.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 323743.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323743.33
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.

After the division, we end up with 323743.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
