473051 divided by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 473051 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Advancing to 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
Subtracting 15 from 17 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 3

Step 3:
When dividing 23 by 3, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 157.0
If we take 21 away from 23, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 3

On to step 4:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1576.0
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 25 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15768.0
If we subtract 24 from 25, we get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Let's proceed to step 6:
3 can be fit into 11 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157683.0
Deduct 9 from 11 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.

Moving on to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 157683.6
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 157683.66
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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.

The final result is 157683.66 with a remainder of 0.002.
