545042 ÷ 3 
Our goal is to divide 545042 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 5, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

On to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 24 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 3 away from 5, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 3

On to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1816.0
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
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: 18168.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 3

On to step 6:
3 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181680.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181680.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181680.66
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.

The final result is 181680.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
