217853 ÷ 4 
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 217853.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 4

On to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 20 away from 21, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
4 goes into 18 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 544.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 4

On to step 5:
If we divide 25 by 4, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5446.0
Subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
4 goes into 13 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 54463.0
Subtract 12 from 13 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54463.2
If we take 8 away from 10, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 20 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54463.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 20 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54463.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54463.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 54463.25 with a remainder of 0.0.
