We divide 264041 by 3
We want to divide 264041 by 3.

Step 1:
3 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 26 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 3

On to step 3:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 880.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 3

Step 5:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8801.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 3

On to step 6:
When dividing 11 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88013.0
Subtracting 9 from 11 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.

Advancing to step 7:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88013.6
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
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: 88013.66
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 88013.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
