The result of dividing 579 by 3 is 193.

Steps to Solve

  1. Set up the division Begin by arranging the numbers for division. We will divide 579 by 3. This can be expressed as: $$ 579 \div 3 $$

  2. Perform the division Now we perform the division. 3 goes into the first digit of 579 which is 5, 1 time because $3 \times 1 = 3$.

  3. Subtract and bring down Subtract 3 from 5, which leaves us with 2. Then, bring down the next digit (7) to make 27.

  4. Divide again Determine how many times 3 goes into 27. It goes 9 times since $3 \times 9 = 27$.

  5. Subtract again Subtract 27 from 27 to get 0. Then bring down the last digit (9) to make it a 9.

  6. Final division Now determine how many times 3 goes into 9, which is 3 times since $3 \times 3 = 9$.

  7. Final subtraction Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0, indicating that there are no more digits to bring down.

  8. Write the answer Combine the results from each step to write the final answer.

The result of dividing 579 by 3 is 193.
