We divide 846687 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 846687 can be divided by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 282.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
3 can be fit into 6 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2822.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28222.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 282229.0
If we subtract 27 from 27, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 282229.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 282229.0
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.

The final outcome is 282229.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
