We divide 284957 by 4
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 284957.

Advancing to step 1:
4 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 28 away from 28, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
4 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

On to step 4:
4 goes into 9 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 712.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 15 by 4, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7123.0
If we subtract 12 from 15, we get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
37 divided by 4 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71239.0
Subtracting 36 from 37 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71239.2
Deduct 8 from 10 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71239.25
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71239.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71239.25
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 71239.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
