We're dividing 987287 by 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 987287 can be divided by 4.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 4

Moving on to step 2:
18 divided by 4 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 16 away from 18, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 4

Step 3:
The number 4 fits into 27 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 246.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 24 from 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 4

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 32 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2468.0
Subtract 32 from 32 to get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 4

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24682.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 4

Advancing to step 6:
4 can be fit into 7 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 246821.0
Deduct 4 from 7 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
4 goes into 30 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 246821.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 246821.75
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.

Advancing to 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: 246821.75
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 246821.75
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.

After the division, we end up with 246821.75 and a remainder of 0.0.
