[algogeeks] Radix sort in linear time???

suppose i have 6 numbers 379,635,274,743,980,835 i read that radix sort runs in O(d(n+k)) time. where d-number of digits ,n=6,k=each digit range. But after the elements are sorted on LSB ,to find next digit we need to perform / and % operation 379 /10 = 37 and 37 %10= 7 so it is taking O(d)
