54887575 divided by 988 
We want to divide 54887575 by 988.

Let's proceed 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
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 988

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 988, we get 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 548 / 988

On to step 3:
548 divided by 988 is 0 with a remainder of 548.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 548 leaves us with 548.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 548, then repeat: 5488 / 988

Step 4:
988 goes into 5488 5 times with a remainder of 548.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4940 from 5488 and we're left with 548.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 548 and continue with: 5487 / 988

On to step 5:
When dividing 5487 by 988, we get 5 with a remainder of 547.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 4940 from 5487, we get 547.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 547 and continue: 5475 / 988

Step 6:
The number 988 fits into 5475 5 times, leaving a remainder of 535.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 555.0
Subtracting 4940 from 5475 leaves us with 535.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 535 and continue: 5357 / 988

Moving on to step 7:
The number 988 fits into 5357 5 times, leaving a remainder of 417.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5555.0
If we take 4940 away from 5357, we end up with 417.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 417 and continue: 4175 / 988

Let's proceed to step 8:
4175 divided by 988 is 4 with a remainder of 223.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55554.0
Deduct 3952 from 4175 and we're left with 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 988 fits into 2230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 254.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55554.2
The remainder is 254 after subtracting 1976 from 2230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 988 fits into 2540 2 times, leaving a remainder of 564.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55554.22
Subtracting 1976 from 2540 leaves us with 564.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5640, and continue the process.

The final result is 55554.22 with a remainder of 0.564.
