We look at the division of 986545 by 3 
We want to divide 986545 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 9 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

On to step 2:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 3

On to step 3:
3 can be fit into 26 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 328.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 25 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3288.0
Subtracting 24 from 25 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
3 goes into 14 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32884.0
Subtract 12 from 14 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 3

Step 6:
When dividing 25 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 328848.0
If we take 24 away from 25, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 328848.3
Subtract 9 from 10 to 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.

Step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 328848.33
Subtract 9 from 10 to 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 328848.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
