We divide 523684 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 523684.

Advancing to step 1:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 5, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 22 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 21 away from 22, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 13 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, we get 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 3

On to step 4:
When dividing 16 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1745.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17456.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174561.0
Deduct 3 from 4 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 174561.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174561.33
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 final result is 174561.33 with a remainder of 0.001.
