We look at the division of 608878 by 16 
We want to divide 608878 by 16.

Let's proceed to step 1:
16 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 16

Step 2:
When dividing 60 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 48 from 60 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 16

Step 3:
16 can be fit into 128 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 128 from 128 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 8 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 380.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 87 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3805.0
Subtract 80 from 87 to get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
16 goes into 78 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38054.0
If we subtract 64 from 78, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 16, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38054.8
Subtracting 128 from 140 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
16 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 38054.87
If we subtract 112 from 120, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 38054.875
If we subtract 80 from 80, we get 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:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38054.875
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 11:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38054.875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 38054.875 with a balance of 0.0.
