Let's divide 986973 by 6
The aim is to understand the frequency of 6 in 986973.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 6 from 9 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 6

Going ahead to step 2:
6 goes into 38 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 36 from 38, we get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 6

Going ahead to step 3:
6 goes into 26 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtracting 24 from 26 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 6

Let's proceed to step 4:
29 divided by 6 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1644.0
If we take 24 away from 29, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 6

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 57 by 6, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16449.0
Deduct 54 from 57 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 33 / 6

Going ahead to step 6:
33 divided by 6 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164495.0
Subtract 30 from 33 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 164495.5
If we subtract 30 from 30, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 6, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164495.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 6, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164495.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 164495.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
