Let's divide 879897 by 4
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 879897.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 4

Moving on to step 2:
7 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 4 from 7 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 4

Step 3:
39 divided by 4 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 219.0
If we subtract 36 from 39, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 4

Moving on to step 4:
4 goes into 38 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2199.0
Subtracting 36 from 38 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
29 divided by 4 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21997.0
Deduct 28 from 29 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 4

Moving on to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 17 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 219974.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed 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: 219974.2
Subtracting 8 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 219974.25
If we subtract 20 from 20, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 219974.25
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 219974.25
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 outcome is 219974.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
