Let's divide 488099 by 3
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 488099.

Step 1:
4 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

On to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 18 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 162.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1626.0
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 3

Step 5:
If we divide 29 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16269.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 29 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 162699.0
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162699.6
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162699.66
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 162699.66, with a leftover of 0.002.
