We divide 476246 by 3
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 476246.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 3

Step 2:
When dividing 17 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 15 from 17 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 3

On to step 3:
3 can be fit into 26 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 22 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1587.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 can be fit into 14 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15874.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 3

On to step 6:
3 can be fit into 26 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 158748.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 24 from 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158748.6
If we subtract 18 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158748.66
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 158748.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
