We're dividing 494866 by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 494866.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

Step 3:
14 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 12 from 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1649.0
Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 16 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16495.0
Deduct 15 from 16 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
3 can be fit into 16 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164955.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 15 from 16.
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:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164955.3
If we take 9 away from 10, 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.

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: 164955.33
If we take 9 away from 10, 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.

The quotient of the division is 164955.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
