We look at the division of 54985 by 77 
We're looking to find how many times 77 goes into 54985.

Moving on to step 1:
77 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 77

Going ahead to step 2:
77 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 549 / 77

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 549 by 77, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 539 from 549, we get 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 77

On to step 4:
77 goes into 108 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we take 77 away from 108, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 315 / 77

Moving on to step 5:
77 can be fit into 315 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 714.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 308 from 315.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 70 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 714.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
700 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 714.09
If we take 693 away from 700, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 70 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 714.09
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
700 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 714.0909
Deduct 693 from 700 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
70 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 714.0909
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 77 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 714.090909
Subtracting 693 from 700 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 70 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 714.090909
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 77, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 714.09090909
If we subtract 693 from 700, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 714.09090909 with a balance of 7e-09.
