We're dividing 254859 by 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 254859.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 4

Moving on to step 2:
The number 4 fits into 25 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 4

On to step 3:
14 divided by 4 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 4

On to step 4:
4 goes into 28 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 637.0
Subtracting 28 from 28 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
The number 4 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6371.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
4 can be fit into 19 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 63714.0
Deduct 16 from 19 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 4, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63714.7
If we subtract 28 from 30, 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:
If we divide 20 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63714.75
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.

Step 9:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63714.75
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63714.75
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 63714.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
