987779 divided by 16 
We want to divide 987779 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
16 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 16

Step 2:
16 goes into 98 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 27 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Deduct 16 from 27 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 16

Step 4:
The number 16 fits into 117 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 617.0
If we subtract 112 from 117, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 16

Step 5:
16 goes into 57 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6173.0
If we take 48 away from 57, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 16

On to step 6:
When dividing 99 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61736.0
Subtracting 96 from 99 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
16 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61736.1
Deduct 16 from 30 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
16 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 61736.18
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 128 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61736.187
If we take 112 away from 120, 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:
When dividing 80 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61736.1875
Deduct 80 from 80 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.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61736.1875
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61736.1875
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.

After the division, we end up with 61736.1875 and a remainder of 0.0.
