We look at the division of 872613 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 872613 can be divided by 3.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 can be fit into 27 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 27 from 27, we get 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
2 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 290.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 3

On to step 4:
26 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2908.0
If we take 24 away from 26, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 goes into 21 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29087.0
Subtracting 21 from 21 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 3

Step 6:
3 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290871.0
Deduct 3 from 3 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 290871.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 290871.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 290871.0 with a balance of 0.0.
