726460 divided by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 726460.

Advancing to step 1:
3 can be fit into 7 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 3

Step 2:
If we divide 12 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 6 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 242.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2421.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
3 goes into 16 5 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24215.0
Subtracting 15 from 16 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 3

On to step 6:
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: 242153.0
Subtracting 9 from 10 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242153.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242153.33
Subtracting 9 from 10 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.

Our division results in 242153.33 with a remaining 0.001.
