We're dividing 997784 by 16 
We want to divide 997784 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
16 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
16 can be fit into 99 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 96 from 99 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 37 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 32 from 37 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 16

On to step 4:
16 can be fit into 57 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 623.0
Deduct 48 from 57 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
16 can be fit into 98 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6236.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 96 from 98.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 24 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62361.0
Deduct 16 from 24 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 16 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62361.5
Subtract 80 from 80 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62361.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62361.5
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.

The final outcome is 62361.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
