Let's divide 479858 by 3
We want to divide 479858 by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 3 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 15 from 17 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
3 goes into 29 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we take 27 away from 29, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 can be fit into 28 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1599.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 3

Step 5:
The number 3 fits into 15 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15995.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 15 from 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159952.0
Subtract 6 from 8 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159952.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
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 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 159952.66
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 159952.66, and the remainder is 0.002.
