227981 ÷ 3 
Our goal is to divide 227981 by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 21 from 22 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

On to step 3:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 75.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

On to step 4:
3 can be fit into 29 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 759.0
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7599.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 3

On to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 11 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 75993.0
If we take 9 away from 11, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75993.6
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 75993.66
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 75993.66 with a balance of 0.002.
