Let's divide 971082 by 3
Our goal is to divide 971082 by 3.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 3

On to step 2:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 11 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323.0
If we subtract 9 from 11, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 3

Step 4:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3236.0
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

On to step 5:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32369.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 12 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 323694.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 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.

Advancing to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 323694.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 323694.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 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 323694.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
