Raymond say: When you add the digits, you get 8+5+9 = 22, which is 1 more than 21 (a number divisible by 3)
Therefore, 859 divided by 3 will leave a remainder of 1.

Take that 1 away from 859, and you get 858 which is divisible by 3
hundreds:
8 divided by 3 = 2 (remainder of 2)
tens:
the remainder of 2 (in the hundreds) is now 20 (in the tens) and we add the 5
25 divided by 3 = 8 (remainder of 1)

units:
the remainder of 1 (in the tens) is worth 10 units; we add the final 8
18 divided by 3 = 6

Putting it all together:
858 divided by 3 = 286

Add 1, to get 859
then the answer is 286, with a remainder of 1

If you are allowed fractions, then the answer is
286 and 1/3
