We divide 495686 by 3
We want to divide 495686 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
3 can be fit into 15 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 165.0
Deduct 15 from 15 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 6 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1652.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16522.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
3 can be fit into 26 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 165228.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 24 from 26.
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:
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: 165228.6
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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165228.66
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.

Our division results in 165228.66 with a remaining 0.002.
