Answer: 3

Explanation:

Dividing 5 by 6 not possible, add zero to to 5 to make it 50

so your quotient becomes 0. 8, you then multiply 8 by 6, it gives 48, you subtract 48 from 50, then you get 2 add zero at th back of 2, to make it 20.

Divide 20 by 6 again, then you will get 3, your quotient becomes 0.83, multiply 3 by 6, you will get 18, subtract 18 from 20, you will get 2, add 0 at the back of 2 to make it 20.

Divide 20 by 6, you will get 3, your quotient becomes 0.833. Multiply 3 by 6, you will get 18, subtract 18 from 20, you will get 2.

Add zero add the back of 2 to make it 20 and repeat the process.

You will keep getting 3
