We look at the division of 236979 by 16 
We want to divide 236979 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
16 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
23 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 16 from 23 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 76 by 16, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 64 from 76.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 16 fits into 129 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we subtract 128 from 129, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 16

On to step 5:
17 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1481.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 16

On to step 6:
If we divide 19 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14811.0
Subtract 16 from 19 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
30 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14811.1
Subtract 16 from 30 to get 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:
140 divided by 16 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14811.18
Subtracting 128 from 140 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
16 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14811.187
Deduct 112 from 120 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14811.1875
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 11:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14811.1875
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
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: 14811.1875
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 result is 14811.1875 with a remainder of 0.0.
