977979 divided by 6 
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 977979.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 6, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 6 from 9 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 37 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 36 from 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 6

On to step 3:
The number 6 fits into 17 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 162.0
Deduct 12 from 17 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
59 divided by 6 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1629.0
Deduct 54 from 59 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 6

Moving on to step 5:
57 divided by 6 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16299.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 54 from 57.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 6

Advancing to step 6:
6 can be fit into 39 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162996.0
Deduct 36 from 39 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
6 can be fit into 30 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 162996.5
If we subtract 30 from 30, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
6 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162996.5
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 162996.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 162996.5 with a balance of 0.0.
