494978 divided by 6 
We want to divide 494978 by 6.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 6

Moving on to step 2:
The number 6 fits into 49 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 6

Step 3:
When dividing 14 by 6, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 6

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 6 fits into 29 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 824.0
If we subtract 24 from 29, we get 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 6

Let's proceed to step 5:
6 can be fit into 57 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8249.0
Subtract 54 from 57 to get 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 38 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 82496.0
Deduct 36 from 38 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.

On to step 7:
20 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82496.3
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 6, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82496.33
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.

The final result is 82496.33 with a remainder of 0.002.
