We look at the division of 286472 by 3 
We want to divide 286472 by 3.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 can be fit into 28 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 16 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 95.0
If we subtract 15 from 16, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

On to step 4:
If we divide 14 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 954.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 27 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9549.0
If we subtract 27 from 27, we get 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 95490.0
If we take 0 away from 2, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 95490.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 95490.66
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 95490.66 with a balance of 0.002.
