Let's divide 872440 by 6
We want to figure out the number of times 872440 can be divided by 6.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 6, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 6

On to step 2:
6 goes into 27 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 24 from 27, we get 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 6

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 32 by 6, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtract 30 from 32 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 6

Advancing to step 4:
The number 6 fits into 24 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1454.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 6

Step 5:
4 divided by 6 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14540.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 6

Going ahead to step 6:
6 can be fit into 40 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 145406.0
Subtracting 36 from 40 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.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 6 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145406.6
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:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 145406.66
Subtracting 36 from 40 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.

The final result is 145406.66 with a remainder of 0.004.
