We divide 144653 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 144653 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 12 from 14 to get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 24 away from 24, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 6 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 482.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 3

Step 5:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4821.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

On to step 6:
3 goes into 23 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48217.0
If we subtract 21 from 23, 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 7:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 48217.6
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.

On to step 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48217.66
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.

The quotient of the division is 48217.66, and the remainder is 0.002.
