We're dividing 988615 by 16 
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 988615.

On to step 1:
16 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
16 can be fit into 98 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
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

Let's proceed to step 3:
28 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 16 from 28 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
126 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.0
Deduct 112 from 126 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 141 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
16 goes into 141 8 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6178.0
Deduct 128 from 141 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 135 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 135 by 16, we get 8 and a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61788.0
Subtracting 128 from 135 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
70 divided by 16 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61788.4
Deduct 64 from 70 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
16 can be fit into 60 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61788.43
Subtract 48 from 60 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
16 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 61788.437
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.

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: 61788.4375
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.

Step 11:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61788.4375
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.

Moving on to step 12:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61788.4375
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 61788.4375 with a balance of 0.0.
