Answer: The six steps of division are as follows:

1. Understand the problem: Read the problem carefully to understand what is being asked and identify the numbers involved.

2. Divide: Begin by dividing the first digit of the dividend (the number being divided) by the divisor (the number that divides the dividend). Write the quotient (the answer) above or beside the dividend.

3. Multiply: Multiply the quotient by the divisor, and write the product (the result of the multiplication) beneath the dividend.

4. Subtract: Subtract the product from the dividend, and write the difference below the line.

5. Bring down: If there are more digits in the dividend, bring down the next digit and add it to the difference obtained in the previous step. This will give you a new dividend.

6. Repeat: Repeat steps 2-5 until there are no more digits in the dividend. The final quotient obtained is the answer to the division problem.
