We divide 494838 by 4
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 494838.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 can be fit into 4 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
4 goes into 9 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
4 can be fit into 14 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 4

Moving on to step 4:
4 goes into 28 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1237.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 28 from 28.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 4

On to step 5:
4 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12370.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 38 by 4, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 123709.0
Subtracting 36 from 38 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.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 123709.5
If we take 20 away from 20, 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 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123709.5
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.

Step 9:
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: 123709.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 123709.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
