We divide 487704 by 3
Let's see how many times 3 fits into 487704.

On to step 1:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in 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 (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 3

On to step 2:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 162.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Step 4:
If we divide 17 by 3, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1625.0
Subtracting 15 from 17 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16256.0
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162568.0
Deduct 24 from 24 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162568.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 162568.0
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.

The final outcome is 162568.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
