We look at the division of 688455 by 48 
We want to divide 688455 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 48

Step 2:
The number 48 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 68, we get 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 208 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 192 from 208 to get 16.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 164 / 48

On to step 4:
48 can be fit into 164 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 143.0
Subtracting 144 from 164 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 205 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
205 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1434.0
Subtracting 192 from 205 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 135 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 135 2 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14342.0
If we subtract 96 from 135, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 390 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14342.8
If we take 384 away from 390, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
60 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14342.81
Subtract 48 from 60 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 120 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14342.812
Subtracting 96 from 120 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
48 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14342.8125
Deduct 240 from 240 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14342.8125
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.

On to step 12:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14342.8125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14342.8125 with a balance of 0.0.
