Let's divide 469117 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 469117.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 16 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 15 from 16 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 3

On to step 3:
19 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 11 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1563.0
Deduct 9 from 11 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 3

On to step 5:
If we divide 21 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15637.0
Deduct 21 from 21 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156372.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, 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.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 156372.3
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.

On to step 8:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 156372.33
Deduct 9 from 10 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.

Our division results in 156372.33 with a remaining 0.001.
