608974 ÷ 16 
Our goal is to divide 608974 by 16.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 60 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 60 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 48 from 60.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
16 goes into 128 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 128 from 128, we get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
9 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 380.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 97 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3806.0
Deduct 96 from 97 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
14 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 38060.0
Deduct 0 from 14 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 7:
When dividing 140 by 16, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38060.8
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 8:
When dividing 120 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38060.87
Subtract 112 from 120 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38060.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
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 10:
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: 38060.875
Subtracting 0 from 0 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 11:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38060.875
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.

After the division, we end up with 38060.875 and a remainder of 0.0.
