Let's divide 466508 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 466508 can be divided by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 goes into 16 5 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 16 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
Deduct 15 from 16 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 3

On to step 4:
3 goes into 15 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1555.0
If we take 15 away from 15, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15550.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 155502.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155502.6
If we subtract 18 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 155502.66
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 quotient of the division is 155502.66, and the remainder is 0.002.
