Let's divide 981708 by 16
We want to figure out the number of times 981708 can be divided by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 9 0 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 16

Step 2:
The number 16 fits into 98 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 96 from 98 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 21 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 16 from 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 16

Step 4:
16 goes into 57 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 613.0
If we take 48 away from 57, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 90 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 90 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6135.0
Subtract 80 from 90 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
108 divided by 16 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61356.0
If we take 96 away from 108, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
120 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61356.7
If we take 112 away from 120, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61356.75
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61356.75
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 61356.75
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 61356.75, with a leftover of 0.0.
