252986 divided by 6 
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 252986.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 6 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 24 from 25 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 6

On to step 3:
12 divided by 6 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 12 from 12 to get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 6, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 421.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 6 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 6

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 38 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4216.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 36 from 38.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
The number 6 fits into 26 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 42164.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 6, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42164.3
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
6 goes into 20 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42164.33
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 42164.33 and a remainder of 0.002.
