We're dividing 981879 by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 981879.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 21 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we subtract 21 from 21, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
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: 3272.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32729.0
Deduct 27 from 27 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 9 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 327293.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 327293.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 327293.0
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 327293.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
