Let's use an area model to find the answer to $6054\div6$6054÷6.
a
We set up the area model using a rectangle like this.
| $6$6 | |
| Total area: $6054$6054 |
Now if we don't know straight away what $6054\div6$6054÷6 is, we start with something we do know, like groups of $1000$1000.
Fill in the area used so far if we take out $1000$1000 groups of $6$6.
