973957 divided by 4 
We want to divide 973957 by 4.

On to step 1:
4 goes into 9 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 4

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 4

Step 3:
The number 4 fits into 13 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 243.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 4

Moving on to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 19 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2434.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 16 from 19.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
4 can be fit into 35 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24348.0
If we take 32 away from 35, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 4

On to step 6:
4 can be fit into 37 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 243489.0
If we take 36 away from 37, 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.

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: 243489.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 243489.25
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.

On to step 9:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 243489.25
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.

Step 10:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 243489.25
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 243489.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
