Let's divide 874342 by 6
Let's see how many times 6 fits into 874342.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 24 from 27 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 6

Let's proceed to step 3:
34 divided by 6 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 30 from 34.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 6

Going ahead to step 4:
43 divided by 6 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1457.0
If we take 42 away from 43, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 6

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 14 by 6, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14572.0
Deduct 12 from 14 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 6

Let's proceed to step 6:
6 goes into 22 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145723.0
If we subtract 18 from 22, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145723.6
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
40 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 145723.66
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 145723.66, and the remainder is 0.004.
