We're dividing 972857 by 6 
Let's see how many times 6 fits into 972857.

Step 1:
6 goes into 9 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 6 away from 9, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
6 goes into 37 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 36 from 37 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
12 divided by 6 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 6

Going ahead to step 4:
8 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1621.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 6

On to step 5:
6 goes into 25 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16214.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 24 from 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 6

Step 6:
6 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 162142.0
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 162142.8
Deduct 48 from 50 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 20 by 6, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 162142.83
Subtract 18 from 20 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 9:
6 can be fit into 20 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 162142.833
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 162142.833 with a balance of 0.0002.
