687988 divided by 61 
We want to divide 687988 by 61.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 61, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 61

Advancing to step 2:
68 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 61 from 68 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 61

Step 3:
If we divide 77 by 61, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 61 from 77.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 61

Advancing to step 4:
61 can be fit into 169 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 122 from 169, we get 47.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 478 / 61

On to step 5:
61 can be fit into 478 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1127.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 427 from 478.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 61

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 518 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 30.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11278.0
Subtracting 488 from 518 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
61 goes into 300 4 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11278.4
Subtracting 244 from 300 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
560 divided by 61 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11278.49
Subtract 549 from 560 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 61 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11278.491
Subtracting 61 from 110 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
61 goes into 490 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11278.4918
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 488 from 490.
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 11:
When dividing 20 by 61, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11278.4918
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 61, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11278.491803
Subtracting 183 from 200 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
61 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11278.4918032
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 122 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
61 goes into 480 7 times with a remainder of 53.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11278.49180327
If we take 427 away from 480, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11278.49180327 with a balance of 5.3e-08.
