We look at the division of 970996 by 3 
We want to divide 970996 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323.0
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 3

Step 4:
3 can be fit into 19 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3236.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
3 goes into 19 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32366.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
16 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323665.0
If we subtract 15 from 16, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 323665.3
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 323665.33
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 323665.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
