983955 divided by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 983955 can be divided by 4.

Step 1:
The number 4 fits into 9 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 4

On to step 2:
The number 4 fits into 18 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 4

Step 3:
The number 4 fits into 23 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 245.0
Subtracting 20 from 23 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 39 by 4, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2459.0
If we take 36 away from 39, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 35 by 4, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24598.0
Subtracting 32 from 35 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 4

Going ahead to step 6:
4 goes into 35 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245988.0
If we subtract 32 from 35, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 4 fits into 30 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245988.7
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 28 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245988.75
Subtracting 20 from 20 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 245988.75
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 245988.75
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

The final result is 245988.75 with a remainder of 0.0.
