23747 ÷ 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 23747 can be divided by 3.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 3

Advancing to step 2:
23 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 21 from 23 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
27 divided by 3 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 27 from 27 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 3

Step 4:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 791.0
Subtracting 3 from 4 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 goes into 17 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7915.0
Subtracting 15 from 17 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.

Step 6:
When dividing 20 by 3, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7915.6
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 goes into 20 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7915.66
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7915.66 and a remainder of 0.002.
