214879 divided by 4 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 4 in 214879.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 4

On to step 2:
The number 4 fits into 21 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 20 from 21.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 4

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 14 by 4, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 28 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 537.0
If we take 28 away from 28, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 4

Step 5:
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: 5371.0
Subtracting 4 from 7 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 39 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53719.0
Subtracting 36 from 39 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
4 can be fit into 30 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53719.7
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 28 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53719.75
Deduct 20 from 20 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53719.75
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53719.75
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.

The quotient of the division is 53719.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
