988743 ÷ 54 
We want to divide 988743 by 54.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
54 goes into 98 1 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 54 from 98 leaves us with 44.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 448 / 54

Step 3:
When dividing 448 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 432 from 448 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 54

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 54 fits into 167 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 162 from 167.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 54

Advancing to step 5:
54 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1831.0
Subtract 54 from 54 to get 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 54

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 54, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18310.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
54 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18310.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 300 by 54, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18310.05
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 270 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
54 can be fit into 300 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18310.055
If we take 270 away from 300, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18310.055 with a balance of 0.003.
