Let's divide 986993 by 6
We want to figure out the number of times 986993 can be divided by 6.

Step 1:
9 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 6 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 6

On to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 36 from 38 to get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
6 can be fit into 26 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
Deduct 24 from 26 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
6 can be fit into 29 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1644.0
If we subtract 24 from 29, we get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 6

Let's proceed to step 5:
6 can be fit into 59 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16449.0
If we take 54 away from 59, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 6

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 6 fits into 53 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164498.0
Subtract 48 from 53 to 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 50 by 6, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164498.8
If we take 48 away from 50, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 6 fits into 20 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164498.83
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
6 goes into 20 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164498.833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 164498.833 with a balance of 0.0002.
