218470 ÷ 6 
We want to figure out the number of times 218470 can be divided by 6.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 6

On to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 6, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 18 from 21 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
6 goes into 38 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 36 from 38 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 6

Step 4:
If we divide 24 by 6, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 364.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 6

On to step 5:
6 goes into 7 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3641.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
6 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36411.0
Deduct 6 from 10 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.

Going ahead 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: 36411.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36411.66
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 36411.66 with a balance of 0.004.
