471428 ÷ 3 
We want to divide 471428 by 3.

Let's proceed 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 subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

On to step 2:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 21 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtracting 21 from 21 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1571.0
If we take 3 away from 4, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 goes into 12 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15714.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 3

Step 6:
3 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157142.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
The number 3 fits into 20 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 157142.6
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157142.66
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 157142.66 with a balance of 0.002.
