We're dividing 240839 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 240839 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 8 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 802.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 3

On to step 5:
If we divide 23 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8027.0
If we take 21 away from 23, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 goes into 29 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 80279.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80279.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
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 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80279.66
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 80279.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
