We're dividing 55723 by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 55723.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 5, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
25 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 24 from 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 185.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 22 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1857.0
Subtract 21 from 22 to get 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
13 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18574.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, 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.

Step 6:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18574.3
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:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18574.33
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 18574.33 with a remaining 0.001.
