871916 ÷ 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 871916.

Advancing to step 1:
4 can be fit into 8 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
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: 21.0
Subtracting 4 from 7 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 4

Step 3:
31 divided by 4 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217.0
Subtracting 28 from 31 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 4

Step 4:
4 goes into 39 9 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2179.0
If we take 36 away from 39, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
4 goes into 31 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21797.0
Subtracting 28 from 31 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 4

Step 6:
When dividing 36 by 4, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217979.0
If we take 36 away from 36, 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:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217979.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 217979.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 217979.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
