686979 ÷ 61 
We want to divide 686979 by 61.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 61 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 61 from 68 to get 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 61 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 61 from 76 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 61

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 159 by 61, we get 2 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 122 from 159, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 377 / 61

On to step 5:
The number 61 fits into 377 6 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1126.0
Deduct 366 from 377 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 61

Going ahead to step 6:
119 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 58.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11261.0
Subtracting 61 from 119 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 61 fits into 580 9 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11261.9
Subtract 549 from 580 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
61 can be fit into 310 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11261.95
If we take 305 away from 310, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
61 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11261.95
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11261.9508
Subtract 488 from 500 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
61 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11261.95081
Subtract 61 from 120 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
61 can be fit into 590 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11261.950819
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 549 from 590.
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 13:
410 divided by 61 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11261.9508196
Subtract 366 from 410 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
61 can be fit into 440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11261.95081967
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 427 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11261.95081967 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
