We divide 288994 by 6
We want to figure out the number of times 288994 can be divided by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 6 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 24 from 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 48 by 6, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 48 from 48 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 6

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 6, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 481.0
Deduct 6 from 9 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
39 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4816.0
If we subtract 36 from 39, we get 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 6

On to step 6:
If we divide 34 by 6, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48165.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 30 from 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48165.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
40 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48165.66
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 48165.66, with a leftover of 0.004.
