We look at the division of 261996 by 6 
Let's see how many times 6 fits into 261996.

Let's proceed 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 6

On to step 2:
26 divided by 6 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 24 away from 26, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
21 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 18 from 21, we get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 6

On to step 4:
6 goes into 39 6 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 436.0
Subtracting 36 from 39 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
39 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4366.0
If we subtract 36 from 39, we get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 6

Going ahead to step 6:
6 can be fit into 36 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43666.0
Subtracting 36 from 36 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
6 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 43666.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
6 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43666.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 43666.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
