We look at the division of 46708 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 46708 by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 15 from 16 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtracting 15 from 17 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 3

On to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1556.0
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

On to step 5:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15569.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 6:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15569.3
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15569.33
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.

The final result is 15569.33 with a remainder of 0.001.
