844972 ÷ 3 
We want to divide 844972 by 3.

Step 1:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 3

Step 4:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2816.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28165.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 3

On to step 6:
3 can be fit into 22 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281657.0
Subtract 21 from 22 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.

On to step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281657.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281657.33
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.

The quotient of the division is 281657.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
