689478 ÷ 10 
We want to figure out the number of times 689478 can be divided by 10.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 10

Moving on to step 2:
68 divided by 10 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 60 from 68 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 10

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 89 by 10, we get 8 and a remainder of 9.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 80 from 89.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 10

Step 4:
The number 10 fits into 94 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 689.0
Subtracting 90 from 94 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 10

Step 5:
47 divided by 10 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6894.0
Subtracting 40 from 47 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 10

On to step 6:
The number 10 fits into 78 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68947.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 70 from 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
10 goes into 80 8 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 68947.8
Deduct 80 from 80 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
10 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68947.8
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 68947.8
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 68947.8 with a balance of 0.0.
