We divide 682901 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 682901.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

On to step 2:
If we divide 8 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
22 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 227.0
Deduct 21 from 22 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 19 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2276.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22763.0
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
11 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 227633.0
If we subtract 9 from 11, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 227633.6
If we take 18 away from 20, 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 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 227633.66
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.

The final outcome is 227633.66, with a leftover of 0.002.
