We're dividing 704461 by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 704461 can be divided by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 3 fits into 7 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 3

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
14 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 234.0
If we take 12 away from 14, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 can be fit into 24 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2348.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 can be fit into 6 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23482.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
3 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 234820.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
3 can be fit into 10 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 234820.3
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
3 goes into 10 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 234820.33
If we subtract 9 from 10, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 234820.33 with a balance of 0.001.
