489487 ÷ 4 
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 489487.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 4 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 4

Step 2:
When dividing 8 by 4, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 4

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 9 by 4, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 4

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 14 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1223.0
Subtract 12 from 14 to get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 4

On to step 5:
When dividing 28 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12237.0
If we take 28 away from 28, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 4

On to step 6:
The number 4 fits into 7 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122371.0
Subtract 4 from 7 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
30 divided by 4 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122371.7
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 28 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 4, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122371.75
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 20 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
4 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 122371.75
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 4, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122371.75
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.

The quotient of the division is 122371.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
