Let's divide 72588484 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 72588484 can be divided by 3.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
12 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtracting 3 from 5 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2419.0
If we subtract 27 from 28, we get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 3

On to step 5:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24196.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 241961.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2419616.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 3

Advancing to step 8:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 24196161.0
If we take 3 away from 4, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24196161.3
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.

Step 10:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24196161.33
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.

The final outcome is 24196161.33, with a leftover of 0.001.
