Let's divide 233854 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 233854 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
3 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 goes into 23 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 21 from 23 to get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
Deduct 21 from 23 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 779.0
Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
15 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7795.0
Deduct 15 from 15 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77951.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 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 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77951.3
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77951.33
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 77951.33 with a remaining 0.001.
