We look at the division of 879723 by 6 
We want to figure out the number of times 879723 can be divided by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 6, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 6 fits into 27 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 24 from 27 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 6

On to step 3:
The number 6 fits into 39 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 36 from 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 6

Going ahead to step 4:
6 goes into 37 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1466.0
Subtract 36 from 37 to get 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 6

Step 5:
If we divide 12 by 6, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14662.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 6

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146620.0
Deduct 0 from 3 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:
The number 6 fits into 30 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146620.5
If we take 30 away from 30, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 146620.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
If we divide 0 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146620.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 146620.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
