977988 ÷ 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 977988.

Going ahead to step 1:
98 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 97 leaves us with 97.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 97, then repeat: 977 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
98 can be fit into 977 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 882 from 977 and we're left with 95.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 95, then repeat: 959 / 98

Step 4:
When dividing 959 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 882 away from 959, we end up with 77.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 778 / 98

On to step 5:
When dividing 778 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 92.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 997.0
Subtract 686 from 778 to get 92.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 92, then repeat: 928 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 928 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9979.0
If we take 882 away from 928, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 460 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9979.4
If we subtract 392 from 460, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 680 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9979.46
The remainder is 92 after subtracting 588 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
98 goes into 920 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9979.469
Deduct 882 from 920 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 10:
98 can be fit into 380 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9979.4693
If we take 294 away from 380, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
98 goes into 860 8 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9979.46938
If we subtract 784 from 860, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 98 fits into 760 7 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9979.469387
If we take 686 away from 760, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
98 goes into 740 7 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9979.4693877
Subtracting 686 from 740 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The final result is 9979.4693877 with a remainder of 5.4e-07.
