Let's divide 712931 by 6
We want to divide 712931 by 6.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 can be fit into 7 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 6

Step 2:
When dividing 11 by 6, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 6 from 11, we get 5.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 52 / 6

Step 3:
If we divide 52 by 6, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we take 48 away from 52, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
6 can be fit into 49 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1188.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
6 can be fit into 13 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11882.0
Deduct 12 from 13 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 6

Advancing to step 6:
6 goes into 11 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118821.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 6 from 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
50 divided by 6 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 118821.8
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
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 8:
20 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118821.83
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 6 fits into 20 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118821.833
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.

Our division results in 118821.833 with a remaining 0.0002.
