We divide 831873 by 6
We want to figure out the number of times 831873 can be divided by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 goes into 8 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 6

Advancing to step 2:
6 goes into 23 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 18 from 23 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
51 divided by 6 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we subtract 48 from 51, we get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 6

Step 4:
The number 6 fits into 38 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1386.0
If we subtract 36 from 38, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 6

Going ahead to step 5:
6 goes into 27 4 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13864.0
Subtracting 24 from 27 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 33 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 33 by 6, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138645.0
If we take 30 away from 33, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
30 divided by 6 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138645.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 30 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
6 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 138645.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 138645.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 138645.5 with a balance of 0.0.
