We divide 873308 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 873308 can be divided by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 can be fit into 27 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 3

On to step 3:
When dividing 3 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291.0
If we subtract 3 from 3, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 3 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2911.0
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29110.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 291102.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 291102.6
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:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 291102.66
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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.

The final result is 291102.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
