We look at the division of 717179 by 3 
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 717179.

Moving on to step 1:
3 can be fit into 7 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
11 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 9 from 11 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 27 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 1 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2390.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 17 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23905.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 29 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239059.0
Subtracting 27 from 29 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 239059.6
Subtract 18 from 20 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.

Moving on to step 8:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 239059.66
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.

The quotient of the division is 239059.66, and the remainder is 0.002.
