We divide 548978 by 16
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 548978.

Going ahead to step 1:
16 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 48 away from 54, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
16 can be fit into 68 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 64 from 68 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 343.0
If we subtract 48 from 49, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 16

Step 5:
The number 16 fits into 17 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3431.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 18 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34311.0
Deduct 16 from 18 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 20 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34311.1
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 16 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
16 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34311.12
Subtracting 32 from 40 leaves us 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 9:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34311.125
If we subtract 80 from 80, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34311.125
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 34311.125
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 34311.125, and the remainder is 0.0.
