879085 divided by 6 
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 879085.

On to step 1:
6 goes into 8 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 6 away from 8, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 6

Going ahead to step 2:
27 divided by 6 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 24 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 6

On to step 3:
6 can be fit into 39 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
Subtracting 36 from 39 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 6

Moving on to step 4:
6 goes into 30 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1465.0
Subtract 30 from 30 to get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 6

Step 5:
The number 6 fits into 8 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14651.0
Subtracting 6 from 8 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 6

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 25 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146514.0
Deduct 24 from 25 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 6, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 146514.1
If we take 6 away from 10, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146514.16
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
6 goes into 40 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 146514.166
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 146514.166, and the remainder is 0.0004.
