Let's divide 545894 by 3
We want to divide 545894 by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 5 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 24 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
5 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we subtract 3 from 5, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Step 4:
28 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1819.0
If we subtract 27 from 28, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 goes into 19 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18196.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 3

On to step 6:
If we divide 14 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 181964.0
If we take 12 away from 14, 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.

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: 181964.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 181964.66
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 181964.66 with a remaining 0.002.
