257287 ÷ 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 257287 can be divided by 4.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 4

Step 2:
4 goes into 25 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 24 from 25, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 17 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 12 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 643.0
Subtract 12 from 12 to get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
8 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6432.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 4

On to step 6:
4 can be fit into 7 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 64321.0
Deduct 4 from 7 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 30 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 64321.7
If we take 28 away from 30, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64321.75
If we take 20 away from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 64321.75
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64321.75
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 64321.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
