Let's divide 470118 by 3
We want to figure out the number of times 470118 can be divided by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 15 from 17 to get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 3

On to step 4:
21 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1567.0
If we subtract 21 from 21, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15670.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 3

Advancing to step 6:
3 goes into 18 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 156706.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 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 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156706.0
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.

On to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 156706.0
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.

The final result is 156706.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
