We look at the division of 496487 by 6 
We want to figure out the number of times 496487 can be divided by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 6 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
6 goes into 49 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 6

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 16 by 6, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Deduct 12 from 16 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
6 goes into 44 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 827.0
Subtracting 42 from 44 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
6 can be fit into 28 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8274.0
Subtracting 24 from 28 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 6

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 6 fits into 47 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82747.0
If we subtract 42 from 47, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 6 fits into 50 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82747.8
Subtracting 48 from 50 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.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 82747.83
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.

Advancing to step 9:
6 can be fit into 20 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82747.833
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
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 82747.833 with a remainder of 0.0002.
