We're dividing 284873 by 4 
We want to divide 284873 by 4.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of 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

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 4, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 28 from 28.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 4

On to step 3:
4 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 8 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 712.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 4

Step 5:
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: 7121.0
If we subtract 4 from 7, we get 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 4

Moving on to step 6:
4 goes into 33 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71218.0
Deduct 32 from 33 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
The number 4 fits into 10 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71218.2
If we subtract 8 from 10, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71218.25
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.

Step 9:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71218.25
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.

On to step 10:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71218.25
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.

The quotient of the division is 71218.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
