We look at the division of 257919 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 257919 by 3.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 goes into 25 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 24 away from 25, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 15 from 17 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 3

Moving on 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: 859.0
If we subtract 27 from 29, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 3

Step 5:
The number 3 fits into 21 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8597.0
Deduct 21 from 21 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 3

On to step 6:
3 can be fit into 9 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 85973.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85973.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85973.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 85973.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
