We divide 687461 by 4
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 687461.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 4 away from 6, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 4

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 4, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 28 from 28 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
4 can be fit into 7 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 4 from 7 to get 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
34 divided by 4 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1718.0
If we subtract 32 from 34, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
The number 4 fits into 26 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17186.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
21 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171865.0
If we take 20 away from 21, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 171865.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 8 from 10.
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:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 171865.25
Subtracting 20 from 20 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171865.25
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.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171865.25
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.

After the division, we end up with 171865.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
