118687 ÷ 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 118687 can be divided by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
3 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 9 from 11, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 28 by 3, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 3

Let's proceed to step 4:
3 goes into 16 5 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 395.0
Subtract 15 from 16 to get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 18 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3956.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 3

On to step 6:
When dividing 7 by 3, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39562.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39562.3
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 39562.33
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Our division results in 39562.33 with a remaining 0.001.
