We look at the division of 22972 by 6 
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 22972.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 6

Step 2:
If we divide 22 by 6, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 18 away from 22, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 6

On to step 3:
6 goes into 49 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 6

On to step 4:
If we divide 17 by 6, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we take 12 away from 17, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 6

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 52 by 6, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3828.0
Deduct 48 from 52 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 6:
6 goes into 40 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3828.6
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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3828.66
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
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 3828.66, and the remainder is 0.004.
