288787 ÷ 3 
Our goal is to divide 288787 by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 18 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 96.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 962.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9626.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 3

On to step 6:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 96262.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 96262.3
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 96262.33
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 96262.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
