Let's divide 855638 by 6
We want to divide 855638 by 6.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 6 fits into 8 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 6

On to step 2:
25 divided by 6 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 24 from 25 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 6

On to step 3:
6 goes into 15 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.0
Deduct 12 from 15 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 6

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 36 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1426.0
Subtracting 36 from 36 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
3 divided by 6 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14260.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 6

Step 6:
38 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142606.0
Subtract 36 from 38 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 6, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142606.3
If we subtract 18 from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142606.33
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.

Our division results in 142606.33 with a remaining 0.002.
