338504 divided by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 338504 can be divided by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 3 from 3 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 3

Step 2:
The number 3 fits into 3 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 3 away from 3, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
3 can be fit into 25 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1128.0
If we take 24 away from 25, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 3

Step 5:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11283.0
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 14 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112834.0
Subtract 12 from 14 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112834.6
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 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 112834.66
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.

The final result is 112834.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
