979460 ÷ 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 979460 can be divided by 4.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 4

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 19 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 244.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 16 from 19.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 4

Step 4:
4 can be fit into 34 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2448.0
Subtract 32 from 34 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 26 by 4, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24486.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 244865.0
If we take 20 away from 20, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244865.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 244865.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 244865.0 with a balance of 0.0.
