996454 divided by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 996454 can be divided by 4.

On to step 1:
4 can be fit into 9 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 19 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 16 from 19 to get 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
4 can be fit into 36 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 249.0
Deduct 36 from 36 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 4

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 4 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2491.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
4 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24911.0
Deduct 4 from 5 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 4

Step 6:
4 goes into 14 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249113.0
Deduct 12 from 14 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249113.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249113.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249113.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

The final outcome is 249113.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
