We look at the division of 46771 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 46771 can be divided by 3.

Step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with 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.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 16 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 15 from 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 17 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
3 can be fit into 27 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1559.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 27 from 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 1 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15590.0
If we take 0 away from 1, 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.

On to step 6:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15590.3
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15590.33
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.

The final outcome is 15590.33, with a leftover of 0.001.
