We look at the division of 478692 by 3 
Our goal is to divide 478692 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
3 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 3 from 4, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 can be fit into 17 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

Step 3:
3 goes into 28 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 159.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 16 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1595.0
If we subtract 15 from 16, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 19 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15956.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 3

On to step 6:
If we divide 12 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159564.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, 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.

On to step 7:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159564.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 159564.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The final outcome is 159564.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
