Let's divide 308401 by 6
We want to divide 308401 by 6.

Step 1:
The number 6 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
6 can be fit into 30 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 30 from 30, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
8 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 6 from 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 6

Step 4:
When dividing 24 by 6, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 514.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 6

Let's proceed to step 5:
0 divided by 6 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5140.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 6

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 6 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51400.0
If we take 0 away from 1, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
6 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51400.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
40 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 51400.16
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51400.166
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 51400.166 with a balance of 0.0004.
