We look at the division of 471954 by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 471954 can be divided by 4.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 4, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
4 goes into 7 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 4 from 7 to get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 31 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 28 from 31, we get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 4

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 39 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1179.0
Deduct 36 from 39 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 4

On to step 5:
If we divide 35 by 4, we get 8 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11798.0
Subtracting 32 from 35 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
4 goes into 34 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117988.0
Subtract 32 from 34 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 117988.5
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.

On to step 8:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 117988.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117988.5
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.

Our division results in 117988.5 with a remaining 0.0.
