493742 ÷ 6 
We want to divide 493742 by 6.

On to step 1:
The number 6 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 6

Moving on to step 2:
6 goes into 49 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
6 can be fit into 13 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we take 12 away from 13, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 6

Moving on to step 4:
6 can be fit into 17 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 822.0
If we take 12 away from 17, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 6

On to step 5:
If we divide 54 by 6, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8229.0
Subtracting 54 from 54 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 6

Step 6:
2 divided by 6 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82290.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us 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 7:
6 goes into 20 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82290.3
Subtract 18 from 20 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 6, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82290.33
If we take 18 away from 20, 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.

The final result is 82290.33 with a remainder of 0.002.
