Let's divide 494017 by 6
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 494017.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 6 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 6

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 6, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 48 away from 49, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 14 by 6, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 12 from 14 to get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 6

On to step 4:
20 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 823.0
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 6

Step 5:
When dividing 21 by 6, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8233.0
Subtract 18 from 21 to get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 6

Advancing to step 6:
6 can be fit into 37 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82336.0
Subtracting 36 from 37 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 6, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82336.1
If we subtract 6 from 10, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82336.16
Subtract 36 from 40 to 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 82336.166
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 final result is 82336.166 with a remainder of 0.0004.
