We look at the division of 987076 by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 987076.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 goes into 9 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Step 2:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 329.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 27 from 27.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3290.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Step 5:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32902.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 16 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 329025.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 329025.3
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 329025.33
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 329025.33 with a remaining 0.001.
