We divide 479834 by 3
Our goal is to divide 479834 by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 2:
17 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 15 from 17, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 29 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 27 from 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 3

On to step 4:
28 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1599.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 3

On to step 5:
13 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15994.0
Subtracting 12 from 13 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 goes into 14 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159944.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us 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:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 159944.6
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
3 can be fit into 20 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159944.66
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.

Our division results in 159944.66 with a remaining 0.002.
