Question 493967
<pre>
Subtract 8008-2493, getting 5515
Divide 5515÷6, getting 919{{{1/6}}}

Add 2493 + 919{{{1/6}}}, getting 3412{{{1/6}}} 
Add 3412{{{1/6}}} + 919{{{1/6}}}, getting 4331{{{1/3}}} 
Add 4331{{{1/3}}} + 919{{{1/6}}}, getting 5250{{{1/2}}}
Add 5250{{{1/2}}} + 919{{{1/6}}}, getting 6169{{{2/3}}}
Add 6169{{{1/6}}} + 919{{{1/6}}}, getting 7088{{{5/6}}}
Add 7088{{{5/6}}} + 919{{{1/6}}}, 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:
