We're dividing 983972 by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 983972 can be divided by 4.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 16 from 18 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 4

Advancing to step 3:
23 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245.0
If we take 20 away from 23, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 4

On to step 4:
4 goes into 39 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2459.0
Subtract 36 from 39 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 4

On to step 5:
If we divide 37 by 4, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 24599.0
If we subtract 36 from 37, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 4

On to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 12 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245993.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, 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 7:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245993.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245993.0
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.

Our division results in 245993.0 with a remaining 0.0.
