We divide 972737 by 3
Our goal is to divide 972737 by 3.

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
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 can be fit into 7 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Step 3:
3 can be fit into 12 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324.0
If we take 12 away from 12, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 can be fit into 7 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3242.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 3

Step 5:
The number 3 fits into 13 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 32424.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 12 from 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324245.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324245.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 324245.66
If we take 18 away from 20, 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.

The final result is 324245.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
