Let's divide 718872 by 3
We want to divide 718872 by 3.

On to step 1:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 9 from 11, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Step 3:
The number 3 fits into 28 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 239.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
18 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2396.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23962.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 goes into 12 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 239624.0
Subtract 12 from 12 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239624.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 239624.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

Our division results in 239624.0 with a remaining 0.0.
