We look at the division of 218749 by 6 
Our goal is to divide 218749 by 6.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 6 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 6

Moving on to step 2:
21 divided by 6 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 18 from 21 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 6

Step 3:
When dividing 38 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 36 from 38 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 6

On to step 4:
If we divide 27 by 6, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 364.0
Subtract 24 from 27 to get 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 6

Advancing to step 5:
34 divided by 6 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3645.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 30 from 34.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 6

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 49 by 6, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36458.0
If we take 48 away from 49, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
6 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36458.1
Subtracting 6 from 10 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
6 goes into 40 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36458.16
If we take 36 away from 40, 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.

Step 9:
40 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36458.166
Subtract 36 from 40 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 36458.166 with a balance of 0.0004.
