683976 ÷ 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 683976 can be divided by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

On to step 2:
If we divide 8 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 23 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 227.0
If we subtract 21 from 23, we get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

On to step 4:
3 can be fit into 29 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2279.0
Subtracting 27 from 29 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22799.0
Deduct 27 from 27 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 227992.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
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 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 227992.0
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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 227992.0
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 final outcome is 227992.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
