Let's divide 508213 by 3
We want to divide 508213 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 12 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1694.0
If we take 12 away from 12, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
3 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16940.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
3 can be fit into 13 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 169404.0
If we take 12 away from 13, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169404.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 169404.33
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 169404.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
