We're dividing 979781 by 16 
We want to divide 979781 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 16

Step 2:
97 divided by 16 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
16 goes into 19 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 16 from 19 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
16 can be fit into 37 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 612.0
If we subtract 32 from 37, we get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 16

Step 5:
16 can be fit into 58 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6123.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 48 from 58.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 16

Step 6:
16 goes into 101 6 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61236.0
If we subtract 96 from 101, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61236.3
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61236.31
Subtract 16 from 20 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 16 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61236.312
If we take 32 away from 40, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 16 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61236.3125
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 11:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61236.3125
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 12:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 61236.3125
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.

The final result is 61236.3125 with a remainder of 0.0.
