983538 divided by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 983538.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 9 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
3 can be fit into 23 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 327.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 21 from 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 25 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3278.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 24 from 25.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 can be fit into 13 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32784.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 12 from 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 18 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 327846.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 327846.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 327846.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 327846.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
