We divide 983994 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 983994 can be divided by 3.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 23 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 327.0
Subtract 21 from 23 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 29 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3279.0
If we subtract 27 from 29, we get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 29 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32799.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
24 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 327998.0
Deduct 24 from 24 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.

Step 7:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 327998.0
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:
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: 327998.0
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 result is 327998.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
