We divide 434261 by 3
We want to divide 434261 by 3.

On to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
3 goes into 13 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 12 away from 13, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
3 goes into 14 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 144.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 22 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1447.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 21 from 22.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 16 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14475.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 goes into 11 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 144753.0
If we take 9 away from 11, 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.

Step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144753.6
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.

Going ahead 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: 144753.66
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.

Our division results in 144753.66 with a remaining 0.002.
