We're dividing 978117 by 16 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 978117.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 97 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 96 from 97 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 16

On to step 3:
18 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 16 from 18 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 21 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 611.0
If we subtract 16 from 21, we get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 51 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6113.0
Subtract 48 from 51 to get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
37 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61132.0
Subtracting 32 from 37 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
50 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61132.3
If we take 48 away from 50, we end up with 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:
20 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61132.31
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61132.312
Subtract 32 from 40 to get 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.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61132.3125
If we subtract 80 from 80, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61132.3125
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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 61132.3125
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.

The final result is 61132.3125 with a remainder of 0.0.
