Let's divide 472984 by 6
We want to divide 472984 by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 6

Step 2:
6 can be fit into 47 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 42 from 47 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 6 fits into 52 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we subtract 48 from 52, we get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 6

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 6, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 788.0
If we take 48 away from 49, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 6

On to step 5:
6 goes into 18 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7883.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
The number 6 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 78830.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 78830.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78830.66
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 quotient of the division is 78830.66, and the remainder is 0.004.
