Could anyone explain to me how to convert number to their negative bases? (There is one thing that I don't understand about calculation algorithm in the comments)

Question

Negative bases wiki shows us an example of how t calculate 146 in negaternary:
/(146/-3 = -48 remainder 2/)
/(-48/-3 = 16 remainder 0/)
/(16/-3 =-5remainder1/)
/(-5/-3 =2 remainder1/)What is this? How is it possible, why is that not a mistake?
/(2/-3 = 0remainder2/)

I had encountered this same "division error" in a few places, so perhaps it is intentional?
@ganeshie8 maybe you know anything about this?
