We divide 152878 by 6
We want to figure out the number of times 152878 can be divided by 6.

Step 1:
6 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 6

Step 2:
6 goes into 15 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 12 from 15, we get 3.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 32 / 6

Advancing to step 3:
32 divided by 6 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 30 away from 32, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 6

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 28 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 24 from 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 6

On to step 5:
47 divided by 6 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2547.0
If we take 42 away from 47, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 6

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 58 by 6, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25479.0
Deduct 54 from 58 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25479.6
Subtract 36 from 40 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25479.66
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 25479.66 with a balance of 0.004.
