Let's divide 1879721 by 462
We're looking to find how many times 462 goes into 1879721.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 462 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 462

Step 2:
462 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 462

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 187 by 462, we get 0 with a remainder of 187.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 187 leaves us with 187.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 187 and continue: 1879 / 462

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1879 by 462, we get 4 and a remainder of 31.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 1848 from 1879 to get 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 462

Advancing to step 5:
317 divided by 462 is 0 with a remainder of 317.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 317 after subtracting 0 from 317.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 317 and repeat the process: 3172 / 462

Advancing to step 6:
3172 divided by 462 is 6 with a remainder of 400.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 406.0
Subtract 2772 from 3172 to get 400.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 400, then repeat: 4001 / 462

Let's proceed to step 7:
462 goes into 4001 8 times with a remainder of 305.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4068.0
Deduct 3696 from 4001 and we're left with 305.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3050, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 462 fits into 3050 6 times, leaving a remainder of 278.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4068.6
The remainder is 278 after subtracting 2772 from 3050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2780 by 462, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4068.66
Deduct 2772 from 2780 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4068.66, and the remainder is 0.008.
