686697 divided by 12 
Our goal is to divide 686697 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 12

Step 2:
The number 12 fits into 68 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 60 from 68.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 86 by 12, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 84 from 86, we get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 12 fits into 26 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 572.0
If we subtract 24 from 26, we get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
12 can be fit into 29 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5722.0
If we take 24 away from 29, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 12

Step 6:
12 can be fit into 57 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57224.0
If we subtract 48 from 57, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
90 divided by 12 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57224.7
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 84 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 12, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57224.75
Subtract 60 from 60 to 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.

Step 9:
12 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57224.75
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
12 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 57224.75
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 57224.75 with a balance of 0.0.
