We look at the division of 46701707 by 997 
Let's see how many times 997 fits into 46701707.

Let's proceed to step 1:
997 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 997

Advancing to step 2:
The number 997 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 467 / 997

Going ahead to step 3:
997 goes into 467 0 times with a remainder of 467.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 467 leaves us with 467.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 467, then repeat: 4670 / 997

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4670 by 997, we get 4 with a remainder of 682.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3988 from 4670 to get 682.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 682, then repeat: 6821 / 997

On to step 5:
If we divide 6821 by 997, we get 6 and a remainder of 839.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 5982 away from 6821, we end up with 839.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 839, then carry on: 8397 / 997

On to step 6:
8397 divided by 997 is 8 with a remainder of 421.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 468.0
Subtracting 7976 from 8397 leaves us with 421.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 421 and repeat the process: 4210 / 997

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 4210 by 997, we get 4 and a remainder of 222.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4684.0
Subtract 3988 from 4210 to get 222.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 222 and continue with: 2227 / 997

Going ahead to step 8:
997 goes into 2227 2 times with a remainder of 233.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46842.0
Subtract 1994 from 2227 to get 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 2330 by 997, we get 2 and a remainder of 336.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46842.2
Subtract 1994 from 2330 to get 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 3360 by 997, we get 3 and a remainder of 369.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 46842.23
The remainder is 369 after subtracting 2991 from 3360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 3690 by 997, we get 3 and a remainder of 699.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 46842.233
Subtract 2991 from 3690 to get 699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6990, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 46842.233 with a balance of 0.0699.
