Let's divide 853879 by 4
We want to divide 853879 by 4.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 5 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 4

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 13 by 4, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213.0
If we take 12 away from 13, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 4

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 18 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2134.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 4

On to step 5:
4 can be fit into 27 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21346.0
If we take 24 away from 27, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 4

Moving on to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 39 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 213469.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 36 from 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
4 can be fit into 30 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213469.7
Subtracting 28 from 30 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213469.75
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 213469.75
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

Step 10:
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: 213469.75
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 213469.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
