Let's divide 50993 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 50993.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 3 from 5 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 3

Moving on 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: 169.0
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 3

Step 4:
When dividing 29 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1699.0
Subtracting 27 from 29 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 23 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16997.0
Deduct 21 from 23 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16997.6
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16997.66
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16997.66, and the remainder is 0.002.
