Let's divide 996342 by 3
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 996342.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 9 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 9 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
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: 332.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 3

On to step 4:
When dividing 3 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3321.0
Subtracting 3 from 3 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33211.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 3

Step 6:
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: 332114.0
If we take 12 away from 12, we end up 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.

Step 7:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 332114.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
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: 332114.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

The final outcome is 332114.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
