896981 divided by 4 
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 896981.

Step 1:
4 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 4

Moving on to step 2:
The number 4 fits into 9 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 4

On to step 3:
4 goes into 16 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 224.0
If we subtract 16 from 16, we get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

On to step 4:
4 goes into 9 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2242.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 22424.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 4

Step 6:
The number 4 fits into 21 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 224245.0
If we subtract 20 from 21, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 224245.2
Subtract 8 from 10 to get 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:
4 can be fit into 20 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 224245.25
Subtracting 20 from 20 leaves us 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 9:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 224245.25
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.

Moving on to step 10:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 224245.25
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 224245.25 with a balance of 0.0.
