We divide 257212 by 6
Let's see how many times 6 fits into 257212.

Going ahead to step 1:
6 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 6

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 24 from 25 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 6

On to step 3:
6 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 12 from 17 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 6

Step 4:
If we divide 52 by 6, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 428.0
If we subtract 48 from 52, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 6

Let's proceed to step 5:
41 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4286.0
If we subtract 36 from 41, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
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: 42868.0
Subtract 48 from 52 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42868.6
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 6, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42868.66
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 42868.66, with a leftover of 0.004.
