We divide 879701 by 16
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 879701.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 16

Step 2:
16 can be fit into 87 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 80 away from 87, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 16

Step 3:
The number 16 fits into 79 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 64 from 79 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
157 divided by 16 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 549.0
Subtract 144 from 157 to get 13.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 130 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
16 can be fit into 130 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5498.0
Deduct 128 from 130 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 21 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54981.0
If we subtract 16 from 21, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54981.3
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 48 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 20 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54981.31
Deduct 16 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 16 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 54981.312
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.

On to step 10:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54981.3125
If we take 80 away from 80, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54981.3125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
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 12:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54981.3125
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.

After the division, we end up with 54981.3125 and a remainder of 0.0.
