We're dividing 688242 by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 688242.

Step 1:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 28 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 229.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 12 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2294.0
If we take 12 away from 12, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
4 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 22941.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
12 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 229414.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 229414.0
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 229414.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 229414.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
