We're dividing 979698 by 16 
We want to divide 979698 by 16.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
16 goes into 97 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 96 from 97 to get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
16 can be fit into 19 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 16 from 19.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 16

Step 4:
When dividing 36 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 612.0
If we take 32 away from 36, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
16 can be fit into 49 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6123.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 18 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61231.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 16 from 18.
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 7:
16 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61231.1
Subtracting 16 from 20 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
16 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61231.12
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 32 from 40.
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:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61231.125
Subtracting 80 from 80 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 10:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61231.125
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:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61231.125
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The final outcome is 61231.125, with a leftover of 0.0.
