We look at the division of 842960 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 842960 can be divided by 3.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Step 2:
The number 3 fits into 24 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 3

On to step 3:
When dividing 2 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 280.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
3 can be fit into 29 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2809.0
Deduct 27 from 29 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
26 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28098.0
Subtracting 24 from 26 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 280986.0
Subtract 18 from 20 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 280986.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 280986.66
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.

The final outcome is 280986.66, with a leftover of 0.002.
