We're dividing 482594 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 482594 can be divided by 3.

Step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 3

On to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
2 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 can be fit into 25 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1608.0
Subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16086.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 14 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160864.0
Subtract 12 from 14 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.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 160864.6
Deduct 18 from 20 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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 160864.66
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 final outcome is 160864.66, with a leftover of 0.002.
