We're dividing 142983 by 6 
We want to divide 142983 by 6.

Advancing to step 1:
6 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 6 fits into 14 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 12 from 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 6

Step 3:
6 can be fit into 22 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 18 from 22, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 6

Step 4:
When dividing 49 by 6, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 238.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 6

Moving on to step 5:
18 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2383.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23830.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 6, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23830.5
Subtract 30 from 30 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:
If we divide 0 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23830.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
6 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23830.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

Our division results in 23830.5 with a remaining 0.0.
