Let's divide 248744 by 3
Our goal is to divide 248744 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
27 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 829.0
If we take 27 away from 27, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8291.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 3

Step 6:
3 can be fit into 14 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 82914.0
Deduct 12 from 14 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82914.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82914.66
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 82914.66 with a balance of 0.002.
