540573 divided by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 540573 can be divided by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 divided by 3 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 goes into 5 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1801.0
If we take 3 away from 5, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 27 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18019.0
Subtract 27 from 27 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 3

On to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 180191.0
If we take 3 away from 3, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180191.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180191.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 180191.0 with a balance of 0.0.
