Let's divide 248711 by 3
We want to divide 248711 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 8 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 27 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 829.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
1 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8290.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
11 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82903.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82903.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 82903.66
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 82903.66 with a balance of 0.002.
