We divide 697988 by 4
We're looking to find how many times 4 goes into 697988.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 can be fit into 6 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 6 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 4

Going ahead to step 2:
4 goes into 29 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 28 from 29.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 4, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 4

On to step 4:
The number 4 fits into 19 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1744.0
If we take 16 away from 19, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 4

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 38 by 4, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17449.0
If we take 36 away from 38, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 4

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 28 by 4, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174497.0
If we subtract 28 from 28, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 174497.0
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 8:
0 divided by 4 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174497.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 174497.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
