Let's divide 588077 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 588077 can be divided by 3.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 5, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 196.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1960.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19602.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
17 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 196025.0
Subtract 15 from 17 to get 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:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196025.6
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 196025.66
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 196025.66 with a remaining 0.002.
