Divide by 6: First, see how many times 6 goes into 8. That's 1 time with 2 left over.
Divide by 6 again: Bring down the 4 to make it 24. Now, 6 goes into 24 exactly 4 times.
Continue dividing by 6: Next, bring down the 3 to make it 3. But wait, we forgot to bring down the 2 from the hundreds place, so it should be 23. 6 goes into 23 three times with 5 left over.
