We divide 841642 by 3
Our goal is to divide 841642 by 3.

Step 1:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 3

Step 3:
1 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 280.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

On to step 4:
If we divide 16 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2805.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 15 from 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 14 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28054.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 22 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 280547.0
Subtracting 21 from 22 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 280547.3
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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 280547.33
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 280547.33 with a balance of 0.001.
