#144217 - High Voltage measurement

I want to measure a voltage ranging from 500V to 6 KV. I am using resistor divider to get the voltages from 0.5V to 6 V. This voltage is to be given to DPM for display. But the reading is not coming properly. A little deviation is coming (obviously).

So I am trying the following:

I have taken N number of readings manually.
I made a table, actual output vs idle output.
I am using uc with in built ADC & DAC.
First I am converting it to Digital and then by using lookup table, I am converting it to analog by DAC.

The problem for me is:

My uC ADC can handle upto 2.5 V only.
How to handle 6V?

Seeking advice from experts....Please....
Is this method is OK? or any other method can be adopted....
