We look at the division of 496629 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 496629 can be divided by 3.

On to step 1:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
3 goes into 16 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
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: 1655.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 12 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16554.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
9 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165543.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165543.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165543.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 165543.0 with a balance of 0.0.
