We're dividing 697957 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 697957 can be divided by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
17 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 348.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 19 by 2, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3489.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34897.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 14 from 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 348978.0
If we take 16 away from 17, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 348978.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 348978.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 348978.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The final outcome is 348978.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
