We look at the division of 54989959 by 977 
We want to figure out the number of times 54989959 can be divided by 977.

Going ahead to step 1:
977 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 977

Step 2:
977 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.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 549 / 977

Step 3:
977 goes into 549 0 times with a remainder of 549.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 549, we get 549.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 549, then repeat: 5498 / 977

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 977 fits into 5498 5 times, leaving a remainder of 613.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4885 from 5498 and we're left with 613.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 613 and continue: 6139 / 977

Advancing to step 5:
6139 divided by 977 is 6 with a remainder of 277.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 5862 from 6139 and we're left with 277.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 277, then repeat: 2779 / 977

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 977 fits into 2779 2 times, leaving a remainder of 825.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 562.0
Subtract 1954 from 2779 to get 825.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 825, then repeat: 8255 / 977

Step 7:
977 goes into 8255 8 times with a remainder of 439.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5628.0
If we subtract 7816 from 8255, we get 439.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 439, then repeat: 4399 / 977

Let's proceed to step 8:
977 goes into 4399 4 times with a remainder of 491.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56284.0
Deduct 3908 from 4399 and we're left with 491.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4910, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
4910 divided by 977 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56284.5
Deduct 4885 from 4910 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 250 by 977, we get 0 with a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56284.5
Subtract 0 from 250 to get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 977 fits into 2500 2 times, leaving a remainder of 546.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56284.502
If we take 1954 away from 2500, we end up with 546.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
977 can be fit into 5460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 575.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 56284.5025
Subtracting 4885 from 5460 leaves us with 575.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5750, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 977 fits into 5750 5 times, leaving a remainder of 865.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56284.50255
If we take 4885 away from 5750, we end up with 865.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 56284.50255 with a balance of 0.000865.
