We divide 446279 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 446279 can be divided by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 3

Step 2:
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: 14.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 3

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 26 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Step 4:
22 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1487.0
If we subtract 21 from 22, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 3

On to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 17 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14875.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 29 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148759.0
If we take 27 away from 29, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148759.6
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 20 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148759.66
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 148759.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
