We divide 489847 by 3
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 489847.

On to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 can be fit into 18 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 9 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 163.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1632.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16328.0
If we take 24 away from 24, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 can be fit into 7 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 163282.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 163282.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 163282.33
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 163282.33 with a balance of 0.001.
