We divide 996429 by 4
Our goal is to divide 996429 by 4.

On to step 1:
4 goes into 9 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
4 goes into 19 4 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 16 from 19 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 36 by 4, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtract 36 from 36 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 4

Step 4:
When dividing 4 by 4, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2491.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
4 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24910.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 29 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249107.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 28 from 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
4 can be fit into 10 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249107.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 8 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249107.25
Subtracting 20 from 20 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249107.25
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.

Step 10:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 249107.25
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 quotient of the division is 249107.25, and the remainder is 0.0.
