We look at the division of 579481 by 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 579481.

Step 1:
4 can be fit into 5 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 4

On to step 2:
4 goes into 17 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 4

Step 3:
If we divide 19 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144.0
Deduct 16 from 19 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 4

Step 4:
4 goes into 34 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1448.0
If we take 32 away from 34, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 4

Step 5:
When dividing 28 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14487.0
If we take 28 away from 28, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
4 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 144870.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 10 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 144870.2
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 144870.25
If we subtract 20 from 20, 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 9:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 144870.25
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.

Step 10:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 144870.25
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 144870.25 with a remaining 0.0.
