Question 493967: need help making a number line starting with 2493 and ending with 8008 in 6 increments

Subtract 8008-2493, getting 5515
Divide 5515÷6, getting 9191%2F6

Add 2493 + 9191%2F6, getting 34121%2F6 
Add 34121%2F6 + 9191%2F6, getting 43311%2F3 
Add 43311%2F3 + 9191%2F6, getting 52501%2F2
Add 52501%2F2 + 9191%2F6, getting 61692%2F3
Add 61691%2F6 + 9191%2F6, getting 70885%2F6
Add 70885%2F6 + 9191%2F6, getting 8008

Now mark and label 7 points on a number line:

I will write the digits of the numbers vertically instead
of horizontally 

The numbers are so huge they would take up 
too much space to write them horizontally,
so write the digits of the numbers vertically instead
of horizontally:
