We're dividing 979981 by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 979981.

Let's proceed 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
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

On to step 2:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 326.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 19 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3266.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 3

On to step 5:
When dividing 18 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 32666.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 1 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 326660.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 326660.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 326660.33
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 326660.33 with a remaining 0.001.
