Let's divide 546271 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 546271.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 5 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 24 away from 24, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
3 can be fit into 6 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1820.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 3

On to step 5:
3 can be fit into 27 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18209.0
If we take 27 away from 27, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182090.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 182090.3
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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 182090.33
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 182090.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
