541481 ÷ 4 
We want to figure out the number of times 541481 can be divided by 4.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 4, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 4

Step 2:
When dividing 14 by 4, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 12 from 14, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 21 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 135.0
Subtract 20 from 21 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
14 divided by 4 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1353.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 12 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 4

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 4 fits into 28 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13537.0
Subtract 28 from 28 to get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 135370.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 10 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 135370.2
Subtract 8 from 10 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 4, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135370.25
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 135370.25
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.

Step 10:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135370.25
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.

Our division results in 135370.25 with a remaining 0.0.
