170888 divided by 6 
We want to figure out the number of times 170888 can be divided by 6.

Step 1:
6 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 6

On to step 2:
6 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 12 from 17 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 6

Advancing to step 3:
50 divided by 6 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 6

Step 4:
When dividing 28 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 284.0
Subtracting 24 from 28 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 48 by 6, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2848.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 6

Step 6:
If we divide 8 by 6, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28481.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
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:
The number 6 fits into 20 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28481.3
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
6 can be fit into 20 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28481.33
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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 28481.33 and a remainder of 0.002.
