Let's divide 504543 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 504543 can be divided by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 5, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 24 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 168.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 5 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1681.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

On to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 24 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16818.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168181.0
If we take 3 away from 3, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168181.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168181.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 168181.0 with a remaining 0.0.
