257482 ÷ 6 
We want to figure out the number of times 257482 can be divided by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 6

On to step 2:
6 can be fit into 25 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 24 from 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
17 divided by 6 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 12 from 17, we get 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
6 goes into 54 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 429.0
Subtract 54 from 54 to get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 6

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 6 fits into 8 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4291.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 6

Step 6:
If we divide 22 by 6, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 42913.0
If we take 18 away from 22, 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 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: 42913.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42913.66
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 42913.66 with a balance of 0.004.
