We look at the division of 478077 by 3 
We want to divide 478077 by 3.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 3, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 3

Step 2:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 15 away from 17, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
28 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1593.0
If we subtract 9 from 10, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15935.0
Subtracting 15 from 17 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
3 can be fit into 27 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159359.0
Deduct 27 from 27 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 7:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159359.0
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:
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: 159359.0
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 quotient of the division is 159359.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
