Step 1a

Divide 786 ÷ 6

Draw the division symbol ⟌ and write divisor 6 is on left side and dividend 786 enclosed under this symbol.

$1a$

Explanation: Arrange the numbers in division form.

Step 1b

7 is not divisible by 6 but since, \$1 times 6 = 6\$. we go for it subtract 7 - 6 = 1 and write 1 in first quotient.

$1b$

Explanation: Bring down the next value 8, the 18 is divisible by 6, since \$3 times 6 = 18\$. we go for it subtract 18 - 18 = 0.

Step 1c

Write the second quotient 3. Now bring down the next value 6.

$1c$

Explanation: The 6 is divisible by 6. since, \$1 times 6 = 6\$. we go for it, subtract 6 - 6 = 0.
