Let's divide 887197 by 3
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 887197.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 3

On to step 2:
28 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Step 3:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 295.0
If we subtract 15 from 17, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 21 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2957.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 21 from 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 3

On to step 5:
If we divide 9 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29573.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

On to step 6:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 295732.0
If we take 6 away from 7, 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:
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: 295732.3
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 295732.33
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.

The quotient of the division is 295732.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
