53845843 ÷ 988 
Our goal is to divide 53845843 by 988.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 988 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 988

Advancing to step 2:
53 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 538 / 988

On to step 3:
If we divide 538 by 988, we get 0 and a remainder of 538.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 538 after subtracting 0 from 538.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 538 and continue with: 5384 / 988

Let's proceed to step 4:
5384 divided by 988 is 5 with a remainder of 444.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 444 after subtracting 4940 from 5384.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 444, then repeat: 4445 / 988

Step 5:
If we divide 4445 by 988, we get 4 and a remainder of 493.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 3952 from 4445, we get 493.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 493 and continue with: 4938 / 988

On to step 6:
When dividing 4938 by 988, we get 4 with a remainder of 986.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 544.0
If we subtract 3952 from 4938, we get 986.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 986, then carry on: 9864 / 988

Step 7:
9864 divided by 988 is 9 with a remainder of 972.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5449.0
Subtracting 8892 from 9864 leaves us with 972.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 972, then repeat: 9723 / 988

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 988 fits into 9723 9 times, leaving a remainder of 831.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54499.0
If we take 8892 away from 9723, we end up with 831.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
988 goes into 8310 8 times with a remainder of 406.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54499.8
If we subtract 7904 from 8310, we get 406.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4060, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
988 can be fit into 4060 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54499.84
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 3952 from 4060.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Step 11:
988 can be fit into 1080 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54499.841
If we take 988 away from 1080, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
920 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 920.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54499.841
Subtracting 0 from 920 leaves us with 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 988 fits into 9200 9 times, leaving a remainder of 308.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54499.84109
Subtracting 8892 from 9200 leaves us with 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 3080 by 988, we get 3 with a remainder of 116.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54499.841093
Deduct 2964 from 3080 and we're left with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 988 fits into 1160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54499.8410931
Subtracting 988 from 1160 leaves us with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 988 fits into 1720 1 times, leaving a remainder of 732.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54499.84109311
Deduct 988 from 1720 and we're left with 732.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 54499.84109311 with a remaining 7.32e-07.
