We look at the division of 688945 by 41 
Our goal is to divide 688945 by 41.

Step 1:
41 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
The number 41 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 41 from 68 to get 27.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 278 / 41

On to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 246 from 278 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 329 / 41

Let's proceed to step 4:
329 divided by 41 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 328 from 329.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 41

Moving on to step 5:
41 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1680.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 145 / 41

Going ahead to step 6:
145 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16803.0
If we take 123 away from 145, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
220 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16803.5
Subtracting 205 from 220 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
41 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16803.53
Subtracting 123 from 150 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 9:
41 can be fit into 270 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16803.536
If we take 246 away from 270, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
240 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16803.5365
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 205 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 350 by 41, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16803.53658
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 328 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
220 divided by 41 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16803.536585
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 205 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
150 divided by 41 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16803.5365853
If we subtract 123 from 150, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 270 by 41, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16803.53658536
If we take 246 away from 270, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 16803.53658536 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
