We divide 974954 by 4
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 974954.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 4

On to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 4

Step 3:
4 goes into 14 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 243.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 12 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 29 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2437.0
Deduct 28 from 29 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 4

On to step 5:
4 can be fit into 15 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24373.0
Subtracting 12 from 15 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 4

On to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 34 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 243738.0
If we take 32 away from 34, 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.

On to step 7:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243738.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243738.5
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 243738.5
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.

The quotient of the division is 243738.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
