550072 divided by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 550072.

On to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 5 1 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 3

Step 2:
3 can be fit into 25 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 24 from 25, we get 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1833.0
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18335.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 can be fit into 22 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 183357.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, 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.

Step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 183357.3
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead 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: 183357.33
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.

The final result is 183357.33 with a remainder of 0.001.
