We're dividing 179983 by 6 
We're looking to find how many times 6 goes into 179983.

Moving on to step 1:
6 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 6

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 divided by 6 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 6

On to step 3:
6 goes into 59 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 54 from 59 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 6

Step 4:
If we divide 59 by 6, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
If we subtract 54 from 59, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 6

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 58 by 6, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2999.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 54 from 58.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 6

Step 6:
6 goes into 43 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29997.0
If we take 42 away from 43, 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 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29997.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 6 fits into 40 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29997.16
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.

On to step 9:
6 goes into 40 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29997.166
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.

Our division results in 29997.166 with a remaining 0.0004.
