We're dividing 517916 by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 517916 can be divided by 4.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 5 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 5 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 4

On to step 2:
11 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 8 away from 11, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 37 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 36 from 37.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 4

On to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 19 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1294.0
Subtracting 16 from 19 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 4

Let's proceed 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: 12947.0
If we subtract 28 from 31, we get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 4

Step 6:
The number 4 fits into 36 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129479.0
Subtract 36 from 36 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.

Step 7:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 129479.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 129479.0
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 final result is 129479.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
