478197 divided by 3 
Our goal is to divide 478197 by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
3 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 3

Advancing to step 4:
3 can be fit into 11 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1593.0
Deduct 9 from 11 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 3

Step 5:
3 goes into 29 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15939.0
Subtract 27 from 29 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 3

On to step 6:
The number 3 fits into 27 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159399.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 27 from 27.
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:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159399.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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:
If we divide 0 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159399.0
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.

Our division results in 159399.0 with a remaining 0.0.
