We divide 524702 by 3
Our goal is to divide 524702 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in 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.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 3

Step 2:
3 can be fit into 22 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 21 from 22.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 14 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 12 from 14 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 27 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1749.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17490.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174900.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174900.6
If we subtract 18 from 20, we 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 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174900.66
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 174900.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
