We're dividing 400697 by 7 
We want to figure out the number of times 400697 can be divided by 7.

Advancing to step 1:
7 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 7

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 7, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 35 from 40 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 7

On to step 3:
The number 7 fits into 50 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 49 from 50 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 7

Step 4:
16 divided by 7 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 572.0
If we subtract 14 from 16, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 7

On to step 5:
7 goes into 29 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5724.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 28 from 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 7

On to step 6:
17 divided by 7 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57242.0
If we subtract 14 from 17, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
7 goes into 30 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 57242.4
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
The number 7 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57242.42
Subtract 14 from 20 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
7 can be fit into 60 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57242.428
If we take 56 away from 60, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
40 divided by 7 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57242.4285
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
7 can be fit into 50 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57242.42857
If we take 49 away from 50, 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 12:
7 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57242.428571
If we take 7 away from 10, we end up with 3.
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 13:
7 can be fit into 30 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 57242.4285714
Subtracting 28 from 30 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 7, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57242.42857142
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 57242.42857142 with a remainder of 6e-09.
