Let's divide 987618 by 6
We want to divide 987618 by 6.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 6 fits into 9 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 6 from 9, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 6

Step 2:
If we divide 38 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 36 from 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 6

Advancing to step 3:
27 divided by 6 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtract 24 from 27 to get 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 6

Advancing to step 4:
36 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1646.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 36 from 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 6

On to step 5:
The number 6 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16460.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 6

On to step 6:
18 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164603.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 6 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164603.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
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: 164603.0
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 164603.0 with a balance of 0.0.
