We look at the division of 688978 by 50 
We want to divide 688978 by 50.

Step 1:
When dividing 6 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 50

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 50, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 50 from 68.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 50

On to step 3:
50 goes into 188 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 150 from 188 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 50

Step 4:
50 goes into 389 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 350 from 389.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 397 / 50

Moving on to step 5:
50 goes into 397 7 times with a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1377.0
If we take 350 away from 397, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 50

On to step 6:
When dividing 478 by 50, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13779.0
If we subtract 450 from 478, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
280 divided by 50 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13779.5
If we subtract 250 from 280, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 50 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13779.56
Subtracting 300 from 300 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 50, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13779.56
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
50 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13779.56
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 13779.56 with a remainder of 0.0.
