988877 ÷ 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 988877.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
4 goes into 18 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 16 from 18, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 28 by 4, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 247.0
Subtract 28 from 28 to get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 4

Let's proceed to step 4:
4 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2472.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 4

On to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24721.0
Subtract 4 from 7 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
37 divided by 4 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 247219.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
4 can be fit into 10 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 247219.2
Subtracting 8 from 10 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.

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: 247219.25
Deduct 20 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 247219.25
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 247219.25
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 247219.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
