111973 divided by 3 
We want to divide 111973 by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 9 from 11 to get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
3 goes into 21 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 21 from 21 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 373.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3732.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 13 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37324.0
Deduct 12 from 13 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37324.3
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:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 37324.33
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 37324.33 with a balance of 0.001.
