258988 ÷ 4 
We want to divide 258988 by 4.

Step 1:
2 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 4

Step 2:
When dividing 25 by 4, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 4

Moving on to step 3:
4 can be fit into 18 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 4

Moving on to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 29 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 647.0
Subtracting 28 from 29 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 4

Step 5:
4 can be fit into 18 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6474.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 4

On to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 28 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64747.0
Deduct 28 from 28 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.

Moving on to step 7:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64747.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64747.0
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 64747.0 with a remaining 0.0.
