We divide 117679 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 117679.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

On to step 2:
3 can be fit into 11 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 9 from 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 27 from 27 to get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 3

On to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 6 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 392.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Step 5:
If we divide 7 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3922.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 19 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 39226.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 39226.3
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 39226.33
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 39226.33 with a remaining 0.001.
