We divide 283966 by 6
Our goal is to divide 283966 by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 6

Advancing to step 2:
6 can be fit into 28 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 24 away from 28, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 6

On to step 3:
6 goes into 43 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 42 from 43 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 6

Step 4:
6 can be fit into 19 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 473.0
Subtracting 18 from 19 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 6

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 16 by 6, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4732.0
Deduct 12 from 16 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 6

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 46 by 6, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47327.0
Subtract 42 from 46 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47327.6
Deduct 36 from 40 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47327.66
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 47327.66 with a balance of 0.004.
