479761 ÷ 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 479761.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 15 from 17 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
29 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 3

On to step 4:
If we divide 27 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1599.0
If we subtract 27 from 27, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
6 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15992.0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 159920.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159920.3
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up 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.

Step 8:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159920.33
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 159920.33 and a remainder of 0.001.
