We're dividing 599485 by 3 
We want to divide 599485 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Step 2:
If we divide 29 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 27 from 29 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 29 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.0
If we subtract 27 from 29, we get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 24 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1998.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 3

On to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 19982.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 25 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 199828.0
Subtract 24 from 25 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.

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: 199828.3
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 8:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 199828.33
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.

Our division results in 199828.33 with a remaining 0.001.
