Let's rewrite the problem to set it up for long division.
First we try to divide 6 into 4.
Since that won't work, we try 6 into 45. There are 7 sixes in 45. We write the 7 over the 5.
Multiply the 7 by 6 and subtract this product from 45.
Now bring down the 0 and repeat these steps. There are 5 sixes in 30. Write the 5 over the 0. Multiply the 5 by 6 and subtract this product from 30.
Now bring down the 6 and repeat these steps. There is 1 six in 6. Write the 1 over the 6. Multiply 1 by 6 and subtract this product from 6.
Check by multiplying.
