We look at the division of 280544 by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 280544.

Let's proceed to 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 93.0
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
3 goes into 15 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 935.0
If we take 15 away from 15, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9351.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 3

Step 6:
3 can be fit into 14 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 93514.0
Subtract 12 from 14 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 93514.6
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:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 93514.66
Subtracting 18 from 20 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.

After the division, we end up with 93514.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
