872724 divided by 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 872724.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 4

Step 2:
If we divide 7 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 4 from 7 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
4 can be fit into 32 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218.0
If we take 32 away from 32, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 4

Step 4:
The number 4 fits into 7 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2181.0
If we take 4 away from 7, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 4

Step 5:
4 can be fit into 32 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21818.0
Subtract 32 from 32 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 4 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218181.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 218181.0
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218181.0
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 218181.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
