We're dividing 16501978 by 212 
Let's see how many times 212 fits into 16501978.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 212 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 212

Advancing to step 2:
212 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 212

Step 3:
When dividing 165 by 212, we get 0 with a remainder of 165.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 165, we end up with 165.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1650 / 212

On to step 4:
When dividing 1650 by 212, we get 7 with a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 1484 from 1650.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 166, then repeat: 1661 / 212

Step 5:
1661 divided by 212 is 7 with a remainder of 177.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77.0
The remainder is 177 after subtracting 1484 from 1661.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 177 and continue with: 1779 / 212

On to step 6:
1779 divided by 212 is 8 with a remainder of 83.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 778.0
Deduct 1696 from 1779 and we're left with 83.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 83 and repeat the process: 837 / 212

Moving on to step 7:
212 goes into 837 3 times with a remainder of 201.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7783.0
Subtract 636 from 837 to get 201.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 201, then repeat: 2018 / 212

Moving on to step 8:
2018 divided by 212 is 9 with a remainder of 110.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77839.0
Subtracting 1908 from 2018 leaves us with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
212 can be fit into 1100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77839.5
Deduct 1060 from 1100 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 212 fits into 400 1 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77839.51
The remainder is 188 after subtracting 212 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1880 by 212, we get 8 and a remainder of 184.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 77839.518
Subtract 1696 from 1880 to get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1840 divided by 212 is 8 with a remainder of 144.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 77839.5188
If we take 1696 away from 1840, we end up with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 77839.5188 with a remaining 0.00144.
