We look at the division of 688459 by 49 
We're looking to find how many times 49 goes into 688459.

Going ahead to step 1:
49 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 49

Step 2:
The number 49 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 49 from 68 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 49

Let's proceed to step 3:
198 divided by 49 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 196 away from 198, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 49

Step 4:
When dividing 24 by 49, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 245 / 49

Advancing to step 5:
245 divided by 49 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1405.0
Deduct 245 from 245 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 49

Step 6:
49 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14050.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
49 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14050.1
Subtract 49 from 90 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
49 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14050.18
If we take 392 away from 410, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
49 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14050.183
Subtract 147 from 180 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
49 goes into 330 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14050.1836
Subtracting 294 from 330 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
49 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14050.18367
If we take 343 away from 360, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 12:
49 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14050.183673
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 147 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
230 divided by 49 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14050.1836734
Subtracting 196 from 230 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 49, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14050.18367346
Deduct 294 from 340 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 14050.18367346 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
