We divide 494834 by 3
We want to divide 494834 by 3.

Step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 19 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 14 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164.0
Deduct 12 from 14 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

Step 4:
3 can be fit into 28 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1649.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 goes into 13 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16494.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 3

Step 6:
The number 3 fits into 14 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164944.0
Deduct 12 from 14 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.

Step 7:
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: 164944.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
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 8:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164944.66
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.

The final result is 164944.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
