473857 divided by 6 
We want to figure out the number of times 473857 can be divided by 6.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 6 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 6

Step 2:
If we divide 47 by 6, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 42 away from 47, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 6

Advancing to step 3:
6 goes into 53 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we subtract 48 from 53, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 6

Step 4:
6 can be fit into 58 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 789.0
If we subtract 54 from 58, we get 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 6

Step 5:
6 can be fit into 45 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7897.0
Subtracting 42 from 45 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 6

On to step 6:
6 goes into 37 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78976.0
If we subtract 36 from 37, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 divided by 6 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 78976.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
6 can be fit into 40 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 78976.16
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 6, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78976.166
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.

After the division, we end up with 78976.166 and a remainder of 0.0004.
