We look at the division of 490229 by 3 
We want to divide 490229 by 3.

On to step 1:
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: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 19 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 163.0
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 3

On to step 4:
When dividing 12 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1634.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 2 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16340.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 3

On to step 6:
When dividing 29 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 163409.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
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:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163409.6
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.

Moving 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: 163409.66
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 163409.66 with a balance of 0.002.
