Let's divide 280450 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 280450 can be divided by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 93.0
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 14 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 934.0
Subtract 12 from 14 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 25 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9348.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 24 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 93483.0
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
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 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 93483.3
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 93483.33
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 93483.33 with a remaining 0.001.
