When dividing 3579 by 686, we get 5 with a remainder of 149.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5645.0
Deduct 3430 from 3579 and we're left with 149.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 149 and repeat the process: 1498 / 686

Step 8:
686 can be fit into 1498 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56452.0
Deduct 1372 from 1498 and we're left with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
686 can be fit into 1260 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 574.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56452.1
Deduct 686 from 1260 and we're left with 574.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
5740 divided by 686 is 8 with a remainder of 252.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56452.18
Deduct 5488 from 5740 and we're left with 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Step 11:
686 can be fit into 2520 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 462.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56452.183
The remainder is 462 after subtracting 2058 from 2520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
4620 divided by 686 is 6 with a remainder of 504.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56452.1836
Deduct 4116 from 4620 and we're left with 504.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5040, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 5040 by 686, we get 7 and a remainder of 238.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56452.18367
Deduct 4802 from 5040 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 2380 by 686, we get 3 and a remainder of 322.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56452.183673
The remainder is 322 after subtracting 2058 from 2380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3220, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
686 goes into 3220 4 times with a remainder of 476.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56452.1836734
Subtracting 2744 from 3220 leaves us with 476.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 686 fits into 4760 6 times, leaving a remainder of 644.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56452.18367346
The remainder is 644 after subtracting 4116 from 4760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 56452.18367346 and a remainder of 6.44e-07.
