We divide 988461 by 16
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 988461.

Let's proceed 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
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 16

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 96 away from 98, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 16

On to step 3:
16 goes into 28 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 16 from 28 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 124 by 16, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 617.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 112 from 124.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
16 goes into 126 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6177.0
If we subtract 112 from 126, we get 14.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 141 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
16 goes into 141 8 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61778.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 128 from 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 16, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 61778.8
Deduct 128 from 130 and we're left 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:
16 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61778.81
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.

Step 9:
The number 16 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61778.812
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 16 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61778.8125
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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 61778.8125
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61778.8125
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 quotient of the division is 61778.8125, and the remainder is 0.0.
