616871 divided by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 616871 can be divided by 4.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 4 from 6 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 4

Step 2:
The number 4 fits into 21 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 20 from 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 4

On to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 16 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154.0
Subtract 16 from 16 to get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 4

Let's proceed to step 4:
8 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1542.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 4

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15421.0
Subtracting 4 from 7 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 4

Step 6:
4 goes into 31 7 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 154217.0
If we take 28 away from 31, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 4 fits into 30 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154217.7
Subtract 28 from 30 to 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154217.75
If we take 20 away from 20, 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.

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: 154217.75
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.

On to step 10:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154217.75
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.

Our division results in 154217.75 with a remaining 0.0.
