499699 ÷ 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 499699 can be divided by 3.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 3

Step 2:
3 can be fit into 19 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 19 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

On to step 4:
16 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1665.0
If we subtract 15 from 16, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 3

Step 5:
The number 3 fits into 19 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16656.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166566.0
Subtracting 18 from 19 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.

Let's proceed to 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: 166566.3
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.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 166566.33
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.

Our division results in 166566.33 with a remaining 0.001.
