Let's divide 178461 by 4
Let's see how many times 4 fits into 178461.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 4

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
4 can be fit into 18 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 4

Step 4:
24 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 446.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 4

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 4 fits into 6 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4461.0
If we take 4 away from 6, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 4

On to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 21 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44615.0
Subtracting 20 from 21 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 10 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44615.2
Subtracting 8 from 10 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
4 can be fit into 20 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44615.25
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 44615.25
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.

On to step 10:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44615.25
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 44615.25 with a remainder of 0.0.
