1. Divide: Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (the number being divided) by the divisor (the number you are dividing by). Write the result above the division bracket.
2. Multiply: Multiply the divisor by the quotient you just calculated, and write the result below the dividend. Subtract this result from the original dividend to get a new number.
3. Bring down: Bring down the next digit of the dividend next to the result of the subtraction.
4. Repeat: Repeat steps 1-3 with the new number you have created, dividing the new number by the divisor until you have no more digits to bring down.
5. Remainder: If at the end there is a remainder, write it as a fraction or decimal, depending on the context.

To divide 8 1/4 by 1/6, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number 8 1/4 to an improper fraction.
8 1/4 = (8 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 33/4
Step 2: Write the division problem as a fraction.
33/4 ÷ 1/6
Step 3: Invert the divisor (1/6 becomes 6/1) and multiply.
33/4 x 6/1 = 198/4
Step 4: Simplify the result by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
198 ÷ 4 = 49.5
Step 5: Express the result as a mixed number (if needed).
49.5 can be written as 49 1/2
Therefore, 8 1/4 divided by 1/6 is equal to 49 1/2.
