174988 ÷ 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 174988 can be divided by 4.

Step 1:
1 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
4 goes into 14 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 12 from 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 4

Step 4:
4 goes into 29 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.0
If we subtract 28 from 29, we get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 4

On to step 5:
4 goes into 18 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4374.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 28 by 4, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43747.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 28 from 28.
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 7:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43747.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43747.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 43747.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
