We look at the division of 54977 by 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 54977.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 98, we get 0 with 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
98 can be fit into 54 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 54 leaves us with 54.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 549 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 549 5 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 490 from 549 leaves us with 59.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 597 / 98

Step 4:
When dividing 597 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 588 from 597, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 98

Step 5:
If we divide 97 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 97.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 560.0
Subtracting 0 from 97 leaves us with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
98 goes into 970 9 times with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 560.9
Subtract 882 from 970 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 880 8 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 560.98
If we subtract 784 from 880, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
98 goes into 960 9 times with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 560.989
Subtracting 882 from 960 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 780 7 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 560.9897
Subtract 686 from 780 to get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
98 can be fit into 940 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 560.98979
If we subtract 882 from 940, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 580 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 560.989795
Subtract 490 from 580 to get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
98 can be fit into 900 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 560.9897959
If we take 882 away from 900, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 98 fits into 180 1 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 560.98979591
If we take 98 away from 180, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 560.98979591 with a balance of 8.2e-08.
