Let's divide 486217 by 3
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 486217.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 can be fit into 18 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
3 can be fit into 6 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 162.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1620.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 21 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16207.0
Subtracting 21 from 21 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

On to step 6:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162072.0
Subtract 6 from 7 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 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: 162072.3
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162072.33
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.

The quotient of the division is 162072.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
