We divide 178743 by 4
We want to divide 178743 by 4.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
17 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 18 by 4, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 4

Step 4:
4 can be fit into 27 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 446.0
Subtract 24 from 27 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
34 divided by 4 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4468.0
If we subtract 32 from 34, we get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 23 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44685.0
Subtract 20 from 23 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
4 goes into 30 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44685.7
Subtracting 28 from 30 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.

Advancing to step 8:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 44685.75
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 9:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 44685.75
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.

On to step 10:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 44685.75
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.

The quotient of the division is 44685.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
