501955 divided by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 501955 can be divided by 4.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 goes into 5 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 10 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 8 from 10, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
4 can be fit into 21 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
Deduct 20 from 21 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 19 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1254.0
Subtracting 16 from 19 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 35 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
The number 4 fits into 35 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12548.0
If we subtract 32 from 35, we get 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 35 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125488.0
Subtracting 32 from 35 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:
When dividing 30 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125488.7
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 125488.75
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.

Step 9:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125488.75
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.

Step 10:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125488.75
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 125488.75 with a balance of 0.0.
