Let's divide 689542 by 4
We want to figure out the number of times 689542 can be divided by 4.

Moving on to step 1:
4 can be fit into 6 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 6 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
4 can be fit into 28 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 28 from 28 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

On to step 3:
9 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 4

Step 4:
The number 4 fits into 15 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1723.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 12 from 15.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 34 by 4, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17238.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 32 from 34.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 4

Moving on to step 6:
4 can be fit into 22 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172385.0
If we subtract 20 from 22, we 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.

Step 7:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 172385.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172385.5
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172385.5
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 172385.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
