356242 divided by 3 
Our goal is to divide 356242 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 can be fit into 3 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 3, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 3 away from 5, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 26 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 24 from 26 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 goes into 22 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1187.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 14 by 3, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11874.0
If we take 12 away from 14, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 22 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118747.0
If we take 21 away from 22, 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.

Step 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118747.3
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118747.33
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 118747.33 with a balance of 0.001.
