Let's divide 206879 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 206879.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 3

On to step 2:
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: 6.0
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 3

On to step 3:
26 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtracting 24 from 26 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Step 4:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 689.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Step 5:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6895.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 3

Step 6:
3 goes into 29 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68959.0
If we take 27 away from 29, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 68959.6
Subtract 18 from 20 to 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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68959.66
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 68959.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
