688968 divided by 54 
Let's see how many times 54 fits into 688968.

On to step 1:
54 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 54

Advancing to step 2:
54 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 54 from 68.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 54

On to step 3:
54 can be fit into 148 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 108 from 148 to get 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
409 divided by 54 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we take 378 away from 409, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 54

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 316 by 54, we get 5 and a remainder of 46.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1275.0
If we subtract 270 from 316, we get 46.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 54

On to step 6:
468 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12758.0
Subtracting 432 from 468 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
54 can be fit into 360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12758.6
Subtracting 324 from 360 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
360 divided by 54 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12758.66
Subtract 324 from 360 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12758.66 with a balance of 0.036.
