974687 ÷ 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 974687.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 7 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 3

Step 3:
3 goes into 14 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 324.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 3

On to step 4:
3 goes into 26 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3248.0
Subtracting 24 from 26 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

On to step 5:
When dividing 28 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32489.0
If we subtract 27 from 28, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 17 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 324895.0
If we take 15 away from 17, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324895.6
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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 8:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 324895.66
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.

The final result is 324895.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
