Let's divide 9878 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 9878 can be divided by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 2

Step 3:
The number 2 fits into 7 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 493.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4939.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, 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 5:
2 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: 4939.0
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 6:
2 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: 4939.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 4939.0 with a remaining 0.0.
