Let's divide 237987 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 237987.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 23 7 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 21 from 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79.0
If we take 27 away from 27, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 3

Step 4:
3 can be fit into 9 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 793.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7932.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 27 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79329.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 79329.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79329.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 79329.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
