We're dividing 46890 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 46890 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 16 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 15 from 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 3

On to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 18 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 3

Step 4:
9 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1563.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Step 5:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15630.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15630.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15630.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15630.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
