Let's divide 284961 by 4
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 284961.

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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 28 away from 28, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 4

Step 3:
4 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 712.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 16 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7124.0
Deduct 16 from 16 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 4

Going ahead to step 6:
4 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71240.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
4 goes into 10 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71240.2
Subtracting 8 from 10 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71240.25
If we subtract 20 from 20, 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71240.25
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.

Step 10:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 71240.25
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

The quotient of the division is 71240.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
