We divide 54817002 by 988
We want to divide 54817002 by 988.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 988 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 988

Step 2:
The number 988 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 54, we get 54.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 548 / 988

Moving on to step 3:
988 goes into 548 0 times with a remainder of 548.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 548, we get 548.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 548, then carry on: 5481 / 988

Going ahead to step 4:
988 goes into 5481 5 times with a remainder of 541.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 541 after subtracting 4940 from 5481.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 541, then repeat: 5417 / 988

Step 5:
988 can be fit into 5417 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 477.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 4940 from 5417, we get 477.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 477 and continue: 4770 / 988

Step 6:
988 goes into 4770 4 times with a remainder of 818.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 554.0
If we take 3952 away from 4770, we end up with 818.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 818, then repeat: 8180 / 988

Moving on to step 7:
988 can be fit into 8180 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 276.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5548.0
Subtracting 7904 from 8180 leaves us with 276.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 276, then repeat: 2762 / 988

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 2762 by 988, we get 2 with a remainder of 786.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 55482.0
Deduct 1976 from 2762 and we're left with 786.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 988 fits into 7860 7 times, leaving a remainder of 944.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55482.7
Deduct 6916 from 7860 and we're left with 944.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
988 can be fit into 9440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 548.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55482.79
The remainder is 548 after subtracting 8892 from 9440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 988 fits into 5480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 540.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55482.795
Subtracting 4940 from 5480 leaves us with 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
988 goes into 5400 5 times with a remainder of 460.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55482.7955
If we subtract 4940 from 5400, we get 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

The final result is 55482.7955 with a remainder of 0.0046.
