We're dividing 52807 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 52807 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

On to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 22 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, we get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1760.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
7 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17602.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up 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.

Step 6:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17602.3
Subtract 9 from 10 to 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.

On to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17602.33
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17602.33 with a remaining 0.001.
