471840 ÷ 3 
We're looking to find how many times 3 goes into 471840.

Moving on to step 1:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 3, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 15 from 17, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 3

Step 3:
21 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157.0
If we subtract 21 from 21, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 3

Step 4:
8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1572.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 3

Step 5:
When dividing 24 by 3, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15728.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157280.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157280.0
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 8:
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: 157280.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 157280.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
