487746 divided by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 487746.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 can be fit into 18 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 3

On to step 3:
3 can be fit into 7 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1625.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16258.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 6 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 162582.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162582.0
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 162582.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 162582.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
