We look at the division of 685989 by 22 
We want to figure out the number of times 685989 can be divided by 22.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 22, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 22

Step 2:
When dividing 68 by 22, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 66 from 68.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 22

Let's proceed to step 3:
25 divided by 22 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 22 away from 25, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 22

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 22 fits into 39 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 311.0
Subtracting 22 from 39 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 22

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 178 by 22, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3118.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 176 from 178.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 22

Advancing to step 6:
22 goes into 29 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31181.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 22 from 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
22 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31181.3
If we subtract 66 from 70, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 22, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31181.31
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 22 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 22 fits into 180 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 31181.318
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 176 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 22, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31181.3181
Deduct 22 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
22 goes into 180 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31181.31818
If we take 176 away from 180, 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 12:
40 divided by 22 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31181.318181
Subtract 22 from 40 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 180 by 22, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31181.3181818
Subtract 176 from 180 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 22, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31181.31818181
Subtract 22 from 40 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31181.31818181 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
