Let's divide 786487 by 6
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 786487.

Moving on to step 1:
6 goes into 7 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 6

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 6, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 6 fits into 6 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 6

Step 4:
If we divide 4 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1310.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 6

Step 5:
6 goes into 48 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13108.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 6

On to step 6:
When dividing 7 by 6, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131081.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 6, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131081.1
Deduct 6 from 10 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131081.16
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131081.166
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 131081.166 with a remaining 0.0004.
