157686 ÷ 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 157686.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 3

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 15 from 15 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 16 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 525.0
Subtract 15 from 16 to get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 18 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5256.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 6 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52562.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 52562.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 52562.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 52562.0 with a balance of 0.0.
