590482 divided by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 590482.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 3 from 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 goes into 29 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 196.0
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 24 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1968.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19682.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 22 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 196827.0
Deduct 21 from 22 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 7:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 196827.3
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.

On to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 196827.33
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.

After the division, we end up with 196827.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
