681986 ÷ 4 
We want to divide 681986 by 4.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 4, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 4 from 6 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 4

Advancing to step 2:
4 can be fit into 28 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 28 from 28 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 4

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 4 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 4

Step 4:
4 goes into 19 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1704.0
Subtracting 16 from 19 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 4

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 38 by 4, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17049.0
Subtracting 36 from 38 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 4

Going ahead to step 6:
4 can be fit into 26 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170496.0
Subtracting 24 from 26 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 4 fits into 20 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 170496.5
Deduct 20 from 20 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170496.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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:
When dividing 0 by 4, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170496.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 170496.5 with a balance of 0.0.
