Let's divide 481298 by 3
Our goal is to divide 481298 by 3.

Step 1:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 1 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 3

Step 4:
If we divide 12 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1604.0
If we take 12 away from 12, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 3

On to step 5:
If we divide 9 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16043.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160432.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
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 7:
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: 160432.6
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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 160432.66
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 160432.66 with a balance of 0.002.
