We divide 420877 by 6
Let's see how many times 6 fits into 420877.

Step 1:
6 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 6

Going ahead to step 2:
6 goes into 42 7 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 42 from 42.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
6 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 6

On to step 4:
6 goes into 8 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 701.0
Deduct 6 from 8 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 6

Moving on to step 5:
The number 6 fits into 27 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7014.0
If we subtract 24 from 27, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 6

Step 6:
6 can be fit into 37 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70146.0
If we take 36 away from 37, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70146.1
Subtract 6 from 10 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70146.16
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.

Step 9:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70146.166
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.

Our division results in 70146.166 with a remaining 0.0004.
