We divide 47684 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 47684.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 15 from 17 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 goes into 26 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Step 4:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1589.0
If we subtract 27 from 28, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
14 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15894.0
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.

On to step 6:
20 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15894.6
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15894.66
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15894.66 with a remaining 0.002.
