We're dividing 502024 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 502024 by 3.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

On to step 3:
3 goes into 22 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 167.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 21 from 22.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1673.0
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 12 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16734.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 167341.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 167341.3
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 167341.33
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 167341.33 with a balance of 0.001.
