Let's divide 977982 by 6
Our goal is to divide 977982 by 6.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 6 fits into 9 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 6 from 9 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 6

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 37 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 36 away from 37, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
6 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 162.0
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 6

Moving on to step 4:
6 goes into 59 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1629.0
If we subtract 54 from 59, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 6

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 58 by 6, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16299.0
Deduct 54 from 58 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 6

On to step 6:
42 divided by 6 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 162997.0
If we take 42 away from 42, we end up 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.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162997.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 162997.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 162997.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
