We're dividing 868279 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 868279 can be divided by 3.

Step 1:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 3

Step 2:
3 can be fit into 26 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 24 away from 26, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 289.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 12 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2894.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
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: 28942.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 289426.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 289426.3
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 289426.33
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 289426.33 with a balance of 0.001.
