Let's divide 986717 by 4
Our goal is to divide 986717 by 4.

Step 1:
The number 4 fits into 9 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 4

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 16 from 18, we get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
4 goes into 26 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 246.0
Subtract 24 from 26 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 4

Step 4:
27 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2466.0
Subtracting 24 from 27 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
4 can be fit into 31 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24667.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 28 from 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 4

On to step 6:
When dividing 37 by 4, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 246679.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 36 from 37.
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:
4 can be fit into 10 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 246679.2
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 246679.25
Subtract 20 from 20 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 246679.25
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.

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: 246679.25
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 246679.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
