Let's divide 261509 by 6
We want to divide 261509 by 6.

Moving on to step 1:
6 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 6

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 6

Step 3:
6 can be fit into 21 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 18 away from 21, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 6

On to step 4:
When dividing 35 by 6, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 435.0
Subtracting 30 from 35 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 6

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 50 by 6, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4358.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 6

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 29 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43584.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 24 from 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
6 goes into 50 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43584.8
If we subtract 48 from 50, we 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 20 by 6, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 43584.83
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 6, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43584.833
If we take 18 away from 20, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 43584.833, with a leftover of 0.0002.
