609872 ÷ 3 
Our goal is to divide 609872 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 9 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 203.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2032.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 3

Step 5:
3 can be fit into 27 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20329.0
Deduct 27 from 27 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
2 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 203290.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 203290.6
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 203290.66
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 203290.66 with a remaining 0.002.
