We divide 608759 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 608759 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 6 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 202.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 27 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2029.0
Deduct 27 from 27 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20291.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Step 6:
When dividing 29 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 202919.0
If we subtract 27 from 29, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 202919.6
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 202919.66
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 202919.66 with a remaining 0.002.
