We're dividing 473463 by 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 473463.

Going ahead 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 take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
3 can be fit into 23 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtract 21 from 23 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

On to step 4:
3 goes into 24 8 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1578.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 3

On to step 5:
3 can be fit into 6 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15782.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157821.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 3 from 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 157821.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 157821.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 157821.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
