Let's divide 481431 by 4
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 481431.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 4 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 4

Let's proceed to step 2:
8 divided by 4 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 4

Let's proceed to step 3:
4 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 4

Advancing to step 4:
4 goes into 14 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1203.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 4

Let's proceed to step 5:
4 can be fit into 23 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12035.0
If we subtract 20 from 23, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 4

Step 6:
The number 4 fits into 31 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120357.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 28 from 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120357.7
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left with 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:
4 goes into 20 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120357.75
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.

Step 9:
4 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 120357.75
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 4 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 120357.75
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.

Our division results in 120357.75 with a remaining 0.0.
