482874 ÷ 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 482874 can be divided by 4.

Step 1:
4 goes into 4 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 4

On to step 2:
8 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 4

On to step 3:
4 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 4

Let's proceed to step 4:
4 can be fit into 28 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1207.0
Deduct 28 from 28 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
7 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12071.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 4 from 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 34 by 4, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120718.0
Subtracting 32 from 34 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.

Moving on to step 7:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120718.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 20 from 20.
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:
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: 120718.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120718.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 120718.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
