878272 ÷ 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 878272 can be divided by 4.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
4 can be fit into 7 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 4 away from 7, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 4

On to step 3:
4 can be fit into 38 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 219.0
If we subtract 36 from 38, we get 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 4

Moving on to step 4:
4 can be fit into 22 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2195.0
Subtract 20 from 22 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 4

On to step 5:
The number 4 fits into 27 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21956.0
If we subtract 24 from 27, we get 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
32 divided by 4 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 219568.0
If we take 32 away from 32, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 219568.0
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Step 8:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 219568.0
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.

Our division results in 219568.0 with a remaining 0.0.
